Toxin-producing yeast strains may damage the gut of patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Individual Candida albicans yeast strains in the human gut are as different from each other as the humans that carry them, and some C. albicans strains may damage the gut of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), according to a new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Heart attack survivors may have a lower risk of Parkinson's disease

Spatial transcriptomics-driven gene mapping offers new insights into inflammatory bowel disease

Using a technique called spatial transcriptomics, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have analyzed the gene expression in the mouse colon and created a map showing where in the tissue individual genes are expressed.

New protocol for transplanting 3D cellular structures to regenerate damaged intestinal tissue

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of the colon and rectum.

Study uncovers a class of microbial enzymes that drive ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis, a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease, is a chronic ailment of the colon affecting nearly one million individuals in the United States. It is thought to be linked to disruptions in the gut microbiome -; the bacteria and other microbes that live inside us -; but no existing treatments actually target these microorganisms.
