    A comprehensive metabolite fingerprint of fibrostenosis in patients with Crohn’s disease

    Intestinal fibrostenosis in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) is a common and untreatable comorbidity that is notoriously difficult to monitor. We aimed to find metabolites associated with the presence of fib...

    Revisiting the gut–joint axis: links between gut inflammation and spondyloarthritis

    Gut inflammation is strongly associated with spondyloarthritis (SpA), as exemplified by the high prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the even higher occurrence of subclinical gut inflammation in...

    Butyrate-producing bacteria supplemented in vitro to Crohn’s disease patient microbiota increased butyrate production and enhanced intestinal epithelial barrier integrity

    The management of the dysbiosed gut microbiota in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is gaining more attention as a novel target to control this disease. Probiotic treatment with butyrate-producing bacteria has...

    Differential expression of prolyl hydroxylase 1 in patients with ulcerative colitis versus patients with Crohn’s disease/infectious colitis and healthy controls

    Inhibition of prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) leads to the induction of a transcriptional program that, in the gut, promotes intestinal epithelial cell survival. PHD inhibitors have recently been suggested as a pro...

    Intrarectal Nitric Oxide Administration Prevents Cellular Infiltration but Not Colonic Injury During Dextran Sodium Sulfate Colitis

    During inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, the production of nitric oxide (NO) is mediated by the mucosal conversion of l-arginine. Recently, it was shown that the gut microbiota can also produce NO.
