T cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with anti-cytokine biologics.
Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)

T cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with anti-cytokine biologics.

People with IBD and those on commonly used biologics may have different early T cell responses and faster waning after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, which could affect timing or interpretation of immune monitoring and booster...

Clostridioides difficile-Driven Expansion of IL1B+ Monocytes Amplifies Neutrophil Recruitment in Ulcerative Colitis 2258811

The study suggests C. difficile colonization may expand IL1B+ monocytes that recruit neutrophils and amplify inflammation in ulcerative colitis, a pathway that could help explain pathogen-associated flares.

Macrophage-Centered Integration of Single-Cell and Bulk Transcriptomic Data Identifies CCL3, CCL4, and JUNB as Inflammatory Regulatory Signatures in Ulcerative Colitis

Identifies macrophage-linked genes (CCL3, CCL4, JUNB) that are strongly upregulated in ulcerative colitis and may help explain immune-cell remodeling in the colon. These genes could serve as biomarkers or starting points...

Contribution of the appendix to ulcerative colitis by supplying pathogenic immunoglobulin G-producing cells

If the appendix is a significant source of harmful IgG antibodies in ulcerative colitis, that could help explain why appendectomy sometimes reduces UC risk or severity and might influence future therapies targeting...

Potential role of PPARGC1A in linking ulcerative colitis to colorectal cancer: a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.
Translational cancer research

Potential role of PPARGC1A in linking ulcerative colitis to colorectal cancer: a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

People with long-standing ulcerative colitis face an increased risk of colorectal cancer; this study highlights PPARGC1A as a gene that may be downregulated early in that progression, which could eventually help identify...

Multi-omics Mendelian randomization and experimental validation identify PRKAB1 as a regulator of phosphatidylcholine metabolism in IBD.
Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology

Multi-omics Mendelian randomization and experimental validation identify PRKAB1 as a regulator of phosphatidylcholine metabolism in IBD.

Phosphatidylcholines are implicated in IBD biology; identifying a gene that regulates PC metabolism could point to new mechanistic targets. If PRKAB1 modulates epithelial lipid metabolism relevant to inflammation, it may...
