Research suggests scientists have identified what drives the development of scar tissue in the intestines of people with Crohn's disease. Scientists found clusters of immune cells in the gut which may ...

Crohn's disease, a type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often causes scar-like tissue to build up in the intestines, termed fibrosis. Over time, increased scar tissue builds up in the ...

As inflamed regions of the gut form scar tissue, the space within the gut lumen becomes smaller and more restricted, leading to symptoms of gut obstruction. There is currently no drug treatment ...

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in understanding Crohn’s disease, identifying what drives the development of debilitating scar tissue in the intestines. University of Edinburgh-led ...

Researchers at the Earlham Institute, the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University have analysed gut cells to understand the drivers behind fibrosis (scarring), a common complication in ...

As inflamed regions of the gut form scar tissue, the space within the gut lumen becomes smaller and more restricted, leading to symptoms of gut obstruction. There is currently no drug treatment ...

UC San Diego researchers combined artificial intelligence with molecular biology to unravel how immune cells in the gut decide between inflammation and healing, a process gone awry in Crohn’s disease.

Fat is more complicated than we thought. Once considered just a bag of calories, scientists now know that our fat—aka adipose tissue—doesn't just squirrel away energy; it also sends and receives ...
