Upadacitinib effectively suppresses IL13RA2 expression in primary human intestinal fibroblasts derived from Crohn's disease tissue.
Biochemical pharmacology

Upadacitinib effectively suppresses IL13RA2 expression in primary human intestinal fibroblasts derived from Crohn's disease tissue.

The study identifies a cellular mechanism (JAK1-STAT6 pathway) by which upadacitinib can lower IL13RA2 — a molecule tied to inflammation and anti-TNF resistance — which could help explain how JAK inhibitors work in IBD...

Anti-TNF, Pan-JAK, and JAK1-Selective Inhibition Differentially Alter Mechanisms of Flow-Mediated Dilation in Human Microvessels.
American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology

Anti-TNF, Pan-JAK, and JAK1-Selective Inhibition Differentially Alter Mechanisms of Flow-Mediated Dilation in Human Microvessels.

People with IBD already face higher cardiovascular risk; drugs used to treat IBD (anti-TNF and JAK inhibitors) may differently affect small-vessel endothelial function, a possible contributor to heart and vascular...

JAK1-preferential inhibition in refractory inflammatory bowel disease: reframing upadacitinib as a strategy for rapid immune recalibration.

Upadacitinib is already used for some patients with UC and Crohn's; this article offers a structured way to think about why it can act quickly in refractory cases and what evidence would be needed to move from short‑term...
