Analysis of TNF-antagonist switch over time and associated risk factors in the Swiss Inflammatory Bowel Disease Cohort

TL;DR: A low body mass index, a short diagnostic delay and extraintestinal manifestations at inclusion were identified as risk factors for a switch of the first used TNF antagonist within 24 months of its use in CD patients.

Infliximab Selectively Modulates the Circulating Blood Monocyte Repertoire in Crohn's Disease.

TL;DR: Actively managed CD is associated with monocyte repertoire skewing suggestive of chronic inflammatory stimulation, resulting in a non–apoptosis-related decline in circulating monocyte numbers and blunting of the inflammatory response of monocytes remaining in the blood.

Recognition of Commensal Microflora by Toll-Like Receptors Is Required for Intestinal Homeostasis

TL;DR: It is shown that commensal bacteria are recognized by TLRs under normal steady-state conditions, and this interaction plays a crucial role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and protection from injury.

Molecular-phylogenetic characterization of microbial community imbalances in human inflammatory bowel diseases

TL;DR: Patient stratification by GI microbiota provides further evidence that CD represents a spectrum of disease states and suggests that treatment of some forms of IBD may be facilitated by redress of the detected microbiological imbalances.
