Dietary soy-protein may be effective adjunct therapy for inflammatory bowel diseases

A diet supplemented with soy protein may be an effective adjunct therapy for inflammatory bowel diseases, Penn State researchers reported after completing a study that included mice and cultured human colon cells.

Cytokine plays critical role in driving immune cells to promote or suppress inflammatory bowel disease

A certain cytokine, or small protein that helps cells communicate during immune responses, can control whether immune cells promote or suppress inflammatory bowel disease, a finding that could lead to new treatments, according to a study led by Georgia State University.

UC Riverside professor receives grant to explore therapeutic target for treating IBD patients

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine that includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. A protective protein that plays a key role in this disease is "T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase" or TCPTP.

IBD patients with longer duration of disease have higher risk of developing NAFLD

Research led by a Houston Methodist gastroenterologist shows that patients who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for more than two decades have a higher risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Study shows efficacy of biologics for mucosal healing in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis

Although anti-inflammatory treatments are quite effective at reducing symptoms in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the mucosal lining of the intestine often remains ulcerated, and many patients still ultimately require surgery.

New, low-cost biosimilar for IBD therapy shows efficacy and safety

Treatment of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis has been greatly improved by the introduction of biologic therapies such as infliximab (which targets tumour necrosis factor alpha), but at considerable cost.

Incidence of inflammatory bowel disease continues to increase in Denmark, research reveals

New research indicates that the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease-including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD)-in Denmark is on the rise and is among the highest in the world.

Lower vitamin D levels increase risk of clinical relapse in Ulcerative Colitis patients, study finds

A new study led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has found that lower levels of vitamin D in the blood increase the risk of clinical relapse in patients with Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers in the colon.

Research: Many ulcerative colitis patients taking conventional treatments describe disease as 'poorly controlled'

New research shows that nearly three-quarters of patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) taking conventional treatments describe their disease as ‘poorly controlled’ (continuous or regular experience of symptoms that negatively affect quality of life), with half saying they are somewhat or completely dissatisfied with their current medication; only 1% were completely satisfied with their current treatment.

New research provides clues to how antibody treatment led to remission in SIV-infected monkeys

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have found that the presence of the protein alpha-4 beta-7 integrin on the surface of HIV and its monkey equivalent--simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV--may help explain why an antibody protected monkeys from SIV in previous experiments.
