Translating inflammatory bowel disease research into clinical medicine

Immunity. 2009 Sep 18;31(3):357-61. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2009.08.016.

Abstract

Recent studies have provided important insights into the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The development of new therapeutic agents has been triggered by basic research and studies in mouse models of IBD. It is expected that improved translational research will lead to optimized therapy and new individualized treatment options.
