Can we predict—and even prevent—#IBD before symptoms start? 🧬. Dr. Joana Torres shares what this could mean for the future of IBD and care for those already living with it. Watch the full conversation: #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #PREDICTstudy

Recruitment for randomized controlled trials in #IBD has decreased over time, impeding progress in research. Patients are lost at every step—from being excluded due to complications, to opting out over concerns about placebo assignment. The time for restructuring this process is

Researchers at @broadinstitute & @MassGenBrigham used single-cell & spatial transcriptomics to map intestinal tissue from #Crohns patients, identifying 68 cell types including fibroblast subtypes linked to #fibrosis & #strictures. They also found genetic variants active in these.

Using AI, @UAlberta researchers analyzed 20 years of data from 30K+ #IBD patients—and found 57% had at least one other related condition, from autoimmune and mental health to heart disease. IBD is systemic. Multidisciplinary care isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Yes, excellent possible #FMT study modifications mentioned by Dr Kao in this interview, including longer duration, antibiotic administration, better donor-recipient matching, diet, etc. #Crohns patients would be grateful for a follow-up on this study @UAlberta!.

🤔 Data in @AmJGastro showed that fecal microbiota transplantation is not effective at inducing clinical or endoscopic remission in patients with #Crohnsdisease, but is there more do investigate?. Healio spoke with a researcher from @UAlberta 👇.

"Scientists have discovered that certain immune cells—called neutrophils—can start making a protein called DUOX2 that they usually don't produce. This surprise activity may be fueling gut inflammation in conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.".
