New method helps identify which gut microbes most likely contribute to inflammatory diseases

Cedars-Sinai investigators have developed a method to help identify which human gut microbes are most likely to contribute to a slew of inflammatory diseases like obesity, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and some neurological diseases.

Oral chlorophyllin supplement alleviates inflammatory bowel disease

The dietary supplement chlorophyllin alleviates inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, according to researchers from the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism Research at Sichuan University in China and from Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Research suggests a new nanomedicine strategy for treatment of IBD patients

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), also known as "green cancer", is a chronic, non-specific disease of the intestine. IBD includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, both of which tend to be debilitating, lifelong conditions that can prove fatal in severe cases. Currently, there is no cure for IBD. The main clinical treatments are drugs such as aminosalicylic acid preparations and corticosteroids, but they are often accompanied by gastrointestinal problems, anemia, and various intestinal complications. Finding alternative, more effective options is a priority for researchers.

Researchers identify mechanistic principles for engineering antibodies to enhance cadherin adhesion

Future treatments for advanced cancer could work by sticking cancer cells in place and preventing their spread around the body. A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the University of Washington shows how an antibody strengthens bonds between cells. The work is published Aug. 3 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Using native microbes as chassis for transgene delivery in live bacterial therapeutics

Residing within the human gut are trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that can impact a variety of chronic human ailments, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Pregnant women with IBD and their babies face increased risks and complications

Pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their babies face increased risks and complications compared to pregnant women without IBD.

Research could pave the way for therapeutic strategies targeting DCIR to treat colorectal tumors

Colorectal tumors are a common adverse effect of chronic inflammation of the intestine. In a new study, researchers from Japan and China demonstrate that mice models with dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) protein deficiency are resistant to colonic tumors induced by dextran sodium sulfate and azoxymethane.

Carbon monoxide foam in the fight against inflammation

News-Medical speaks to Leo Otterbein about a novel way to deliver carbon monoxide to the body while bypassing its potentially hazardous effects.

Study reveals how barrier cells that line the intestines send messages to patrolling T cells

Cells in the gut send secret messages to the immune system. Thanks to new research from La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) scientists, we can finally get a look at what they're saying.

Lymphatic capillaries act as a signaling hub to control intestinal stem cell activity

To act as a robust barrier against pathogens while also absorbing needed nutrients, the lining of the intestines must regenerate on a daily basis to remain equal to the task.

Grant funds research that investigates relationships between certain fungi and specific cancers

Dr. Iliyan D. Iliev, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and a member of the Jill Roberts Institute for Research in Inflammatory Bowel Disease at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded a five-year, $1.25 million CRI Lloyd J. Old STAR (Scientists Taking Risks) Program grant from Cancer Research Institute (CRI).
