Aberrant absorptive enterocyte differentiation is associated with altered ion transport and chronic inflammatory diahrea in IBD patients.
Clinical science (London, England : 1979)

Aberrant absorptive enterocyte differentiation is associated with altered ion transport and chronic inflammatory diahrea in IBD patients.

Diarrhea is a common, burdensome symptom in IBD. This study suggests that inflammation-linked defects in enterocyte differentiation and reduced ion transporter expression may help explain persistent diarrhea and that...

Inflammatory Fibroblasts and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Plasticity in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Intestinal fibrosis can cause strictures and obstructive complications that often lead to surgery. Research identifying the cellular drivers and druggable pathways could guide development of treatments to prevent or slow...

Protocol for the Therapy Personalisation Using Multiomic Analyses in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (THAMES‐IBD) Study

People with ulcerative colitis often face trial‑and‑error when starting advanced therapies. THAMES‑IBD aims to find biological and psychosocial markers that predict who will respond, which could eventually make treatment...

Incidence and prevalence of hidradenitis suppurativa across spondyloarthritis-related diseases: cohort study using electronic health records

The study found higher recorded rates of hidradenitis suppurativa in people with Crohn’s disease and psoriatic arthritis, and a smaller increase in ulcerative colitis, suggesting clinicians should consider asking about...

Health-related quality of life after diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease: 3-year trajectories and factors associated with clinically meaningful improvement (the IBSEN III cohort)
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Health-related quality of life after diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease: 3-year trajectories and factors associated with clinically meaningful improvement (the IBSEN III cohort)

This study follows people from diagnosis and shows that about half achieve clinically meaningful improvements in quality of life by 3 years, but many remain below general population norms.

Hybrid Molecular Imaging Using PET/CT and PET/MRI in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Applications, Challenges, and Future Perspectives.

Noninvasive imaging that better separates inflammation from fibrosis and detects penetrating complications could change monitoring and treatment decisions in IBD and reduce radiation exposure for patients needing...

Prior Ustekinumab Exposure and Ulcerative Colitis Are Associated with Suboptimal Trough Levels in Patients Receiving Advanced-Line Vedolizumab or Ustekinumab for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Cohort Study

Patients on biologic therapy often have drug levels and antidrug antibodies measured to guide care. This study suggests prior biologic history, disease type (UC vs CD) and which biologic is currently used may affect...

Chronic Ultrasound (‘Emotional’) Stress in Mice Exacerbates Colitis Through GSK3β-Mediated Neuroimmune Dysregulation and Is Ameliorated by Probiotic Intervention

The study suggests psychological (emotional) stress can worsen colitis-like inflammation via GSK3β-mediated neuroimmune changes, and that a probiotic (VSL#3) reduced many adverse effects in mice — relevant to...

Benefit-risk profiling of advanced therapies in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis: a clustered network meta-analysis

The analysis helps compare multiple advanced therapies when head‑to‑head trials are lacking, which may inform drug selection for induction and maintenance in moderate‑to‑severe UC, including for patients who have failed...

Bilirubin statistically accounts for the association between Enterobacterales lineage and Mayo endoscopic score in ulcerative colitis: a cross-sectional associational variable analysis

The paper suggests serum bilirubin levels statistically explain a meaningful fraction of the link between gut Enterobacterales abundance and endoscopic disease activity in UC, which may point to biologic pathways or...

Myofibroblast Derived Transglutaminase 2 Activity is Upregulated in Stricturing Crohn's Disease and its Inhibition Exerts Anti-Fibrotic Properties.

TG2 produced by intestinal myofibroblasts may drive fibrosis and strictures in Crohn's disease independently of inflammation; blocking TG2 reduced fibrosis in lab and mouse models, pointing to a possible new...
