Concomitant use of enteral nutrition therapy is associated with sustained response to infliximab in patients with Crohn's disease.

TL;DR: Concomitant use of enteral nutrition (EN) therapy (elemental and/or polymeric formulas) was identified as an independent factor associated with sustained response to IFX and is likely to yield a sustained responseto IFX in CD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibrocytes are involved in inflammation as well as fibrosis in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease.

TL;DR: Fibrocytes are recruited early in the inflammatory phase and likely differentiate into fibroblast/myofibroblasts until the fibrosis phase, indicating that they may enhance inflammation by producing TNF-α and can directly augment fibrosis by producing ColI.
