Crohn's disease: Th1, Th17 or both? The change of a paradigm: new immunological and genetic insights implicate Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease [PDF]
Traditionally, Crohn's disease has been associated with a Th1 cytokine profile, while Th2 cytokines are modulators of ulcerative colitis. This concept has been challenged by the description of tolerising regulatory T cells (Treg) and by proinflammatory ...

Ferroptosis involves in intestinal epithelial cell death in ulcerative colitis
Ferroptosis has recently emerged as an iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death, which is also a regulated necrosis process and a response to tumor suppression. However, whether ferroptosis is involved in ulcerative colitis (UC) is unknown.
