| |  A growing body of research suggests that manipulating gut bacteria may offer a promising approach to managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic and debilitating condition affecting millions of people worldwide. | |
|
| |  This month the first study within the DRIMID consortium (DRIMID stands for Drug Rediscovery for Rare Immune Mediated Inflammatory Diseases) has started. | |
|
| |  When cancer patients undergo chemotherapy, the dose of most drugs is calculated based on the patient's body surface area. This is estimated by plugging the patient's height and weight into an equation, dating to 1916, that was formulated from data on just nine patients. | |
|
| |  Long-term daily use of aspirin can help to prevent the development and progression of colorectal cancer, but the mechanisms involved have been unclear. | |
|
| |  In a scientific breakthrough, Mount Sinai researchers have revealed the biological mechanisms by which a family of proteins known as histone deacetylases (HDACs) activate immune system cells linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory diseases. | |
|
| |  Fecal incontinence (FI), or involuntary loss of bowel control, significantly impacts quality of life and mental health for millions of adults in the U.S. | |
|
| |  This article explores the role of citrullination, a post-translational modification process, in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders | |
|
| |  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in the United States. This highlights the importance of early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions like large polyps. Endoscopy offers a minimally invasive approach to removing these polyps, reducing the need for traditional surgery. | |
|
| |  Screening for colorectal cancer presents a unique opportunity unavailable for most other types of cancers. | |
|
| |  In a breakthrough for cancer research, scientists at EPFL have created lab-grown mini-colons that can accurately mimic the development of colorectal tumors, offering a powerful new tool for studying and testing treatments for the disease. | |
|
| |  Study evaluates the role of cruciferous vegetables and their bioactive components in mitigating inflammatory bowel disease through in vitro, in vivo, and preliminary clinical investigations, suggesting a promising therapeutic avenue. | |
