Research could pave the way for therapeutic strategies targeting DCIR to treat colorectal tumors

Colorectal tumors are a common adverse effect of chronic inflammation of the intestine. In a new study, researchers from Japan and China demonstrate that mice models with dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) protein deficiency are resistant to colonic tumors induced by dextran sodium sulfate and azoxymethane.

Lymphatic capillaries act as a signaling hub to control intestinal stem cell activity

To act as a robust barrier against pathogens while also absorbing needed nutrients, the lining of the intestines must regenerate on a daily basis to remain equal to the task.

Grant funds research that investigates relationships between certain fungi and specific cancers

Dr. Iliyan D. Iliev, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and a member of the Jill Roberts Institute for Research in Inflammatory Bowel Disease at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded a five-year, $1.25 million CRI Lloyd J. Old STAR (Scientists Taking Risks) Program grant from Cancer Research Institute (CRI).

Study identifies a protein that plays key role in protecting the gastrointestinal tract from inflammation

A protein called Zbtb46, expressed by specialized immune cells, has a major role in protecting the gastrointestinal tract from excessive inflammation, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Researchers develop an AI system to classify IBD neoplasia lesions accurately

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-;an intractable disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract-;has increased significantly in Japan.

Newly identified gut bacterial strains could pave the way for IBD and colon cancer prevention

Researchers have isolated five strains of gut bacteria that could pave the way for new inflammatory bowel disease treatments and potentially help prevent some forms of bowel cancer.

Study finds higher risk of premature death among patients with pediatric onset immune-mediated inflammatory disease

Patients with a pediatric onset immune-mediated inflammatory disease have a significantly higher risk of premature death, according to new research being presented today at the 54th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.

Association of neuronal and non-neuronal GABA with neuropsychiatric illness in COVID-19 patients

A new study published in the journal Reports focused on the hijacking of the pancreatic, endothelial, and gut GABA by SARS-CoV-2 and its associated pathology along with interventions.

People with inflammatory immune conditions had increased risk of COVID-19-related death before vaccination

People with certain inflammatory immune conditions affecting the joints, bowel and skin, such as rheumatoid arthritis, may have been more at risk of dying or needing hospital care if they got COVID-19 before vaccination compared with the general population, according to a new study published in The Lancet Rheumatology.

Study shows the two-way association between IBD and depression in siblings

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition involving inflammation of the digestive tract, affecting some 1.6 million Americans. Depression affects more than 16 million Americans.

Researchers show how electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve in inflammation promotes healing

The nervous system is known to communicate with the immune system and regulate inflammation in the body. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now show how electrical activation of a specific nerve can promote healing in acute inflammation.

Gut microbiota linked to immunocompromised people's variable response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers assessed whether disturbances in the gut microbiota weaken the serological response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.

25 May 2022

Older adults taking antibiotics more likely to develop inflammatory bowel disease

The more antibiotics prescribed to patients 60 and older, the more likely they were to develop inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting antibiotic use could explain some of the growth in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in older people, according to a review of 2.3 million patient records in a study selected for presentation at Digestive Disease Week 2022.

24 May 2022

Biologic medications used by IBD patients boost COVID-19 vaccine response

Getting the COVID-19 vaccination strengthened one type of immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients even though they were taking immunosuppressant medication, according to investigators at Cedars-Sinai.
