Genetics, Sex and Smoking Linked to More Health Issues for IBD Patients
Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have identified risk factors that make inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients susceptible to developing serious conditions in other parts of their bodies.
Study to decode microbe-gut signaling suggests potential new treatment for IBD
Fresh insights into how our bodies interact with the microbes living in our guts suggest that a two-drug combination may offer a new way to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
