Colon Colitis

Study Details Machinery Of Immune Protection Against Inflammatory Diseases Like Colitis
Scientists report a protein made by a gene already associated with a handful of human inflammatory immune diseases plays a pivotal role in protecting the intestinal tract from colitis. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators led the research, which points to possible new strategies for combating colitis. Colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with colon damage ...

theGrio: Colon cancer does not discriminate
A recent study found that people who ate the most red meat were more likely to develop colon cancer. Although a diet with less red meat is not one commonly found in the African American community, small changes in diet could help fight the disease.

Research Team Demonstrate For The First Time The Important Role Of 2 Proteins In The Process Of Inflammation And Colon ...
Every day, our gut comes in contact with bacteria, inducing an inflammatory response that is tolerated and controlled. Sometimes the control of inflammation is lost and this can lead to inflammatory bowel disease that may predispose to colon cancer. Caspase-1, an important protein involved in the mechanism of inflammation, has long been believed to be one of the culprits behind excessive ...

Feedback loop explains inflammatory effect on intestinal lining
Signals released by immune cells during a bout of inflammatory bowel disease interfere with intestinal cells' ability to regenerate. Yet people with inflammatory bowel diseases have a higher risk of developing colon cancer: a hyper-activation of growth in those same intestinal cells. Researchers have identified a feedback loop involving a growth-regulating circuit in intestinal cells, which ...
