Evaluation of serum human galectin 3 as a marker of activity in inflammatory bowel disease in comparison to fecal calprotectin.
The Egyptian journal of immunology

Evaluation of serum human galectin 3 as a marker of activity in inflammatory bowel disease in comparison to fecal calprotectin.

Noninvasive blood biomarkers that track IBD activity could reduce reliance on repeat endoscopy. If validated, serum galectin‑3 might complement fecal calprotectin and CRP to help identify active disease.

Pathological accumulation of aged neutrophils contributes to intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease.
Clinical science (London, England : 1979)

Pathological accumulation of aged neutrophils contributes to intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease.
