Association of IRGM gene mutations with inflammatory bowel disease in the Indian population. [PDF]
Mutations in the IRGM gene have been associated with Crohn's disease in several populations but have not been explored in Indian patients with this disease. This study examined the association of IRGM mutations with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease

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 ...

Upadacitinib Induction and Maintenance Therapy for Crohn's Disease.
BACKGROUND Upadacitinib, an oral selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is under investigation for the treatment of Crohn's disease. METHODS In two phase 3 induction trials (U-EXCEL and U-EXCEED), we randomly assigned patients with moderate-to-severe ...

Alterations of the CARD15/NOD2 gene and the impact on management and treatment of Crohn's disease patients [PDF]
The recent identification of the CARD15/NOD2 gene as a susceptibility locus for Crohn's disease represents an important step towards the delineation of the immuno-pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.

Extraintestinal Crohn's disease (metastatic Crohn's disease)
Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disorder that may involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract from the oral cavity to the anus. CD belongs to the group of nonspecific inflammatory bowel diseases of unknown etiology.

A screen of Crohn's disease-associated microbial metabolites identifies ascorbate as a novel metabolic inhibitor of activated human T cells. [PDF]
Microbial metabolites are an emerging class of mediators influencing CD4+ T-cell function. To advance the understanding of direct causal microbial factors contributing to Crohn's disease, we screened 139 predicted Crohn's disease-associated microbial ...

The treatment-naive microbiome in new-onset Crohn's disease.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD), are genetically linked to host pathways that implicate an underlying role for aberrant immune responses to intestinal microbiota.

Current concept on the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease-crosstalk between genetic and microbial factors: Pathogenic bacteria and altered bacterial sensing or changes in mucosal integrity take "toll"? [PDF]
The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is only partially understood. Various environmental and host (e.g. genetic-, epithelial-, immune and non-immune) factors are involved.

Utility of serological markers in inflammatory bowel diseases: Gadget or magic? [PDF]
The panel of serologic markers for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is rapidly expanding. Although anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) and atypical perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) remain the most widely ...

A prospective evaluation of the predictive value of faecal calprotectin in quiescent Crohn’s disease [PDF]
Background: The faecal calprotectin (FC) test is a non-invasive marker for gastrointestinal inflammation. Aim: To determine whether higher FC levels in individuals with quiescent Crohn’s disease are associated with clinical relapse over the ensuing 12 ...
