- 1Nutritional Support May Slow Inflammatory Bowel Disease Progression▼The effect of nutritional support on clinical disease progress and malnutrition in inflammatory bowel patients
A Cambridge University Press publication examines how nutritional support affects clinical disease progression and malnutrition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The work addresses a longstanding question in managing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, where malnutrition is a common complication. Clinicians and researchers are weighing the findings for their implications on dietary therapy as part of standard patient care.
- 2Traditional Chinese medicine examined for inflammatory bowel disease treatment▼Targeting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in inflammatory bowel disease: Mechanisms and challenges of traditional Chinese medicine treatment
A newly published review examines how traditional Chinese medicine may treat inflammatory bowel disease by targeting the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, a key regulator of intestinal inflammation and repair. The paper outlines the proposed mechanisms of herbal compounds on this pathway and discusses the challenges that remain, including limited clinical evidence and the complexity of the signalling system, before such therapies can enter mainstream use.
- 3DNA sequencing startup raises $33 million for gut health work▼DNA sequencing startup snags $33M to tackle inflammatory bowel disease, menopause
A DNA sequencing startup has raised $33 million in new funding to develop treatments targeting inflammatory bowel disease and menopause. The company will use the capital to advance its genomic research across these two areas, which currently have limited treatment options. The investment ranks among the more notable health-tech funding rounds announced this week.
