In Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, inflammation blocks its own healing
Medical Xpress1 min read74 words
Researchers from institutions in Kiel, Germany, and the United States have identified a biological mechanism that explains why inflammation persists in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis despite the body’s natural regulatory efforts. The study reveals that chronic intestinal inflammation directly interferes with a critical metabolic pathway responsible for delivering energy to the cells lining the gut. This disruption prevents the intestinal barrier from properly repairing itself, allowing inflammatory processes to continue unchecked.
