Hernia, 2006
The pathophysiology of wound healing in the bowel wall suggests that collagen and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have an important role in the changes of the bowel wall seen in several colonic diseases. Several recent studies suggest that disturbances of the collagen texture and the extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism are major factors leading to ...

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2012The colonic ecosystem differs from that in the proximal gut in several important respects. The colonic microbiota represents the largest population of microbes colonizing humans from birth. Constraints on bacterial numbers, composition, and interaction with the host involve not only the innate and acquired immune system, but also the colonic mucin ...
