Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and the intestinal innate immune cell homeostasis in Crohn's disease

TL;DR: Potential mechanistic roles of GM-CSF in intestinal innate immune cell homeostasis and its central role in maintenance of the intestinal immune barrier in the context of immunodeficiency in CD are summarized.

Roles of Ceramides and Other Sphingolipids in Immune Cell Function and Inflammation

TL;DR: The roles of ceramides and other sphingolipids in mediating the function of various immune cells; particularly dendritic cells, neutrophils, and macrophages are discussed.

All disease begins in the gut: Influence of gastrointestinal disorders and surgery on oral drug performance.

TL;DR: The influence of a portfolio of gastrointestinal diseases and surgical effects on the functionality of the gastrointestinal tract, their implications for drug delivery and attempt to uncover significant links for clinical practice are revisited and re‐evaluate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of molecular resistance and predictors of response to biological therapy in inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: The concept of molecular resistance to biological therapy is examined and implications for future therapy are discussed.

Therapeutic uses of anti-α4-integrin (anti-VLA-4) antibodies in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: It is assumed that the inhibition of VLA-4-mediated immune cell adhesion to the endothelium of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) alleviates pathogenic processes of MS and, therefore, reduces disease severity and burden.

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.
