Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis Bowel Scarring May Be Prevented
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/wQeX73S2Uxc
Unchecked inflammatory bowel disease over years leads to life-threatening thickening and blockage of the small and large intestines that ultimately results in bowel-shortening surgery. University of Calgary researchers now report a possible new medical approach to prevent devastating progression of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis. By creating powerful, synthetic compounds that mimic natural inflammation inhibitors, they are able to turn off intestinal fibroblast inflammatory activity and halt the progression of small and large bowel-scarring disease in mice. Next step: clinical trials in humans.
