Unravelling the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: Recently, substantial advances in the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been made owing to three related lines of investigation as mentioned in this paper, which have shown the importance of epithelial barrier function, and innate and adaptive immunity in disease pathogenesis.

Probiotic bacteria enhance murine and human intestinal epithelial barrier function

TL;DR: In vitro studies showed that epithelial barrier function and resistance to Salmonella invasion could be enhanced by exposure to a proteinaceous soluble factor secreted by the bacteria found in the VSL#3 compound.

Double-blind comparison of an oral Escherichia coli preparation and mesalazine in maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis.

TL;DR: A trial was conducted to test the effects of probiotic treatment with an oral preparation of non‐pathogenic E. coli in the hypothesis that the intestinal environment may contribute to the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis.
