Dynamic model helps make predictions about gut microbiome

The human gut is teeming with microbes, each interacting with one another in a mind-boggling network of positive and negative exchanges. Some produce substances that serve as food for other microbes, while others produce toxins - antibiotics - that kill their neighbors.

Novel PET imaging shows promise for noninvasively detecting inflammation in people with IBD

A novel positron emission tomography imaging method shows promise for noninvasively pinpointing sites of inflammation in people with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

OSU biologist describes 'restoration ecology' approach toward patient health

Chronic diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders and obesity may ultimately vanquish the efforts of medical intervention unless people change their diet, an Oregon State University biologist argues in a paper published this week.

Researchers reveal potent new mechanism of action for treatment of IBD

Professor Akiyoshi Fukamizu's research group of Life Science Center for Survival Dynamics, University of Tsukuba, Eisai Co., Ltd. and its gastrointestinal business subsidiary EA Pharma Co., Ltd. have revealed a mechanism in which an analogue (ER-464195-01) of Eisai's in-house discovered E6007 inhibits integrin activation by dissociating interaction between calreticulin (CRT) and integrin α 4 (ITGA4), suppressing adhesion and infiltration of leukocytes overall.

Higher body temperatures speed the bodies' responses to infections and tumors, finds research

The hotter our body temperature, the more our bodies speed up a key defense system that fights against tumors, wounds or infections, new research by a multidisciplinary team of mathematicians and biologists from the Universities of Warwick and Manchester has found.

Researchers discover new disease mechanism in chronic tobacco smokers

Research published in the journal Clinical Science suggests that an immune signaling protein called interleukin-26 is increased among chronic smokers with lung disease and this involvement reveals disease mechanisms of interest for developing more effective therapy for these hard-to-treat patients.

Study: Psoriasis patients taking Humira show no change in aortic inflammation

An antibody used to treat the skin disease psoriasis and other chronic autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease has no effect on aortic inflammation – a key marker of future risk of major cardiovascular events – unlike other antibodies that target different aspects of the immune system.

Scientists develop integrated system for early diagnosis of diseases using wearable monitors

Researchers from the Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed an integrated system for early diagnosis of diseases using wearable monitors.

Researchers uncover role of ROS in clearing dead cells

If dead cells accumulate in the body, they can contribute to inflammation and pre-dispose individuals to multiple chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, Crohn's disease or lupus by uncharacterized pathways.

Study points to new treatments for incurable bowel conditions

Treatments for incurable bowel conditions may be a step closer following the discovery of a key molecule associated with disease flare-ups.

Western diets promote bacterial growth in the small intestine, increase fat digestion and absorption

A researcher at Midwestern University led a new study showing that Western diets, high in fat and simple sugar, promote the growth of bacteria in the small intestine that increase fat digestion and absorption.

Preantral zinc deficiency may affect fertility months

An estimated 10 percent of couples in the U.S. struggle with infertility. While a variety of factors can make it difficult for some people to get pregnant, ovulation disorders are a leading cause of female infertility.

'Gut-on-a-chip' model recreates intestinal matrix critical for nutrient absorption

The difficulties of conducting research on the human gut are substantial: the presence of trillions of bacterial cells interacting with human cells and each other, constant environmental changes every time food is consumed and zero chance of conducting trials that control for all those moving parts.
