Progress is being made every day on the front lines of #IBD research. We know the answers are out there and will one day bring relief to those who suffer every day. Let's prioritize unlocking the causes, which will in turn lead us to cures.

I find it troubling that few gastroenterologists/researchers specializing in IBD have migrated from Twitter/X. They prefer to stay and post there because...? Is it because that is where their audience is? Lack of moral fortitude? Change is hard? Such inertia! No wonder we haven't gotten closer to a cure since the disease was described decades ago!

@PDFlynn @georgetakei Yes, her essay yesterday was highly instructive, but oh so depressing!

Many of today’s unhealthy foods were brought to you by Big Tobacco

A new study suggests that tobacco companies, who were skilled at marketing cigarettes, used similar strategies to hook people on processed foods.

Evidence is mounting that vagus nerve stimulation is a potentially effective therapy for some #IBD patients. In this small pilot study, clinically meaningful results were observed in participants, including "reduction in clinical disease activity associated with endoscopic improvement, reduced levels of faecal calprotectin and serum cytokines, and improved quality-of-life."

The complexity of Crohn's disease can be daunting, but there is SO much we are learning with every passing day, from genetics to the microbiome to environmental factors like diet. We are confident that all the innovative researchers working tirelessly in labs around the world are going to find cures.

They are definitely on to something, hope they move quickly on this discovery. They're tagging damaged cells to make the body recognize them as aging, friendly cells, so the body stops attacking itself. Addresses Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's disease, Type 1 Diabetes...

New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease

Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed

Immunizing mice against bacterial #flagellin can prevent changes in #microbiota induced by #DietaryEmulsifier, as well as their deleterious consequences for intestinal health. @melissa_kordahi @BenoitChassaing &co #ProcessedFoods #UPF #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/48iOgjr

Vaccination against microbiota motility protects mice from the detrimental impact of dietary emulsifier consumption

Bacterial flagellin is a key mediator of detrimental impacts on intestinal health caused by dietary emulsifier. This study shows that immunizing mice against flagellin can prevent emulsifier-induced changes in microbiota pro-inflammatory potential, microbiota encroachment, as well as deleterious consequences such as intestinal inflammation and metabolic deregulation.

Many studies have explored the role of bacteria in #IBD, but research has been more sparse on viruses, which may hold valuable clues to disease triggers and development.

University of Chicago researchers say that pGal-antigen therapy, which involves tagging molecules with a specific sugar, is showing promise in the lab as a sort of "inverse vaccine" for #crohns and other immune-mediated diseases.

Inverse Vaccine Reverses Autoimmune Diseases in the Lab

In a new study, researchers describe a new “inverse vaccine” that can stop autoimmune reactions which attack a person’s healthy tissues, as seen in diseases multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn’s disease.
