This explains A LOT in my medical history, how about you? The research going on in this field right now is super exciting. Hopefully it continues .

A CAUSE OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE FOUND

Major cause of inflammatory bowel disease found

This is very serious business. Going on memory, my barber needed surgery because of long-term use of medication for Crohn's disease. He died of some complication from the surgery. He had the surgery, he seemed to be recovering well, and then, quite suddenly, he was gone.

Irritable [sic]* Bowel Disease cases surging in children and adults

* they mean Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, i.e, Chron's disease and ulcerative colitis

The graph at 2:30 is alarming. I tried to find the source document on the Chron's and Colitis Foundation website, but was unable.

Here's a related article on pediatric IBD in Canada showing the same uptick -

From Viral Infection to #Autoimmune Reaction: Exploring the Link between Human Herpesvirus 6 & Autoimmune Diseases

Researchers participating in the Human Cell Gut Atlas project are mapping all the cell types in the small and large intestines. This important effort will lead to a greater understanding of #Crohnsdisease etiology and pathogenesis.

Evidence is mounting that vagus nerve stimulation is a potentially effective therapy for some #IBD patients. In this small pilot study, clinically meaningful results were observed in participants, including "reduction in clinical disease activity associated with endoscopic improvement, reduced levels of faecal calprotectin and serum cytokines, and improved quality-of-life."

Many studies have explored the role of bacteria in #IBD, but research has been more sparse on viruses, which may hold valuable clues to disease triggers and development.

This is pretty amazing!

University of Chicago researchers say that pGal-antigen therapy, which involves tagging molecules with a specific sugar, is showing promise in the lab as an “inverse vaccine" for #crohns and other immune-mediated diseases. #crohnsdisease #ibd #inflammatoryboweldisease #antigen #immunesystem #molecule

#Crohnsdisease eventually recurs in a substantial number of patients after resection surgery and explanations are elusive. Studies comparing patients achieving deep remission (both drug-free and drug-assisted) following surgery with those who do not could yield useful insights.

To all the #IBD researchers who dare to think outside the box, who spend countless hours working quietly behind the scenes in the lab, who relentlessly push through setbacks and pivot as a matter of course, and who believe that cures for IBD are out there, we are extremely grateful. THANK YOU.

Many pieces of the Crohn's disease research puzzle continue to emerge, from genetics to the microbiome. Let's support research that focuses on disease causes, which will lead us to to those remaining pieces and therefore CURES. Visit www.propelacure.org.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is a condition in which fat builds up in one’s liver and can cause damage over time. This condition is more prevalent among #IBD patients compared with the general population and needs further study.

Treg cells are a category of T cells whose properties make them a candidate for potential treatment therapies for #IBD. We eagerly await the outcome of clinical trials using this approach that are currently underway.

This is a great, thought-provoking piece about the use of biomarkers in making treatment decisions and predicting disease course in #IBD, including how errors are sometimes made when operating on the basis of traditional assumptions.
