Candidate genes for inflammatory bowel disease identified

A study of the genetic variation that makes mice more susceptible to bowel inflammation after a high-fat diet has identified candidate genes which may drive inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in humans. The findings are published as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife.

IBD patients more likely to have a stroke than people without the disease

People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more likely to have a stroke than people without the disease, according to a study published in the June 14, 2023, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study does not prove that IBD causes stroke; it only shows an association.

So-called “orphan” drugs earn pharmaceutical companies as much money as mainstream medicines

Drugs used to treat rare conditions are earning pharmaceutical companies almost as much as those marketed to the general public, according to a researcher at West Virginia University. Sean Tu, a College of Law professor found lucrative so-called "orphan" drugs earn manufacturing tax credits, have longer patent exclusivities and face easier Food and Drug Administration review.

How the gut microbiome supports iron uptake by intestinal regulatory T-cells

Research paper discusses the relationship between iron deficiencies and immune tolerance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The study shows that high cellular iron levels fostered by pentanoate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal microbiota, are necessary for the homeostasis of regulatory T cells in the intestine, and iron deficiencies in Treg can result in lethal autoimmune disease.

Early-life gut microbial dysbiosis exacerbates colitis

A recent Research journal study investigated the role of microbiota linked to the anaerobic plasmalogen biosynthetic pathway in establishing intestinal homeostasis. The study hypothesized that the presence of pls [PlsA/R]-positive bacterial species and plasmalogen bestow valuable intestine homeostasis in early life.
