TL;DR: A sizeable proportion of asymptomatic potential celiac patients showed fluctuation or negativization of antibody production, and many of these, with persistently positive anti-TG2, did not develop mucosal damage after 9 years of follow-up.

TL;DR: In a long-term study of 280 children with suspected celiac disease (based on anti-TG2 and anti-EMA on gluten-containing diets), the cumulative incidence of progression to villous atrophy was 43% over a 12-year period.

TL;DR: It is suggested that β-catenin and TNFRI protein expression in peripheral blood cells could represent molecular markers of sub-clinical disease in apparently healthy relatives of patients with early-onset UC.

TL;DR: The expression of CD-associated genes in small bowel biopsies of patients and controls is analysed to explore the multivariant pathway of the expression profile of CD patients and contribute to the understanding of the complex interactions among CD- associated genes.

TL;DR: A specifc phopholipid profile is unveiled, able to discriminate infants who eventually develop celiac disease years before antibodies or clinical symptoms ensue, and is suggested that the state of the host is a main factor for the abnormal immune response to gluten.
