Scientists Find the ‘Master Switch’ Behind Crohn’s Inflammation
Scientists at Osaka University have identified two proteins that act as ‘master switches’ controlling chronic inflammation in Crohn’s disease. This breakthrough could lead to more targeted treatments that address root causes rather than just managing symptoms.
New Hope for Fibrostenotic Crohn’s: First Treatment in Sight
Palisade Bio receives Health Canada clearance for the first clinical trial targeting fibrostenotic Crohn’s disease specifically. PALI-2108 represents groundbreaking hope for patients who have had limited treatment options, addressing both inflammation and the scar tissue that makes this form of Crohn’s so challenging to treat.
Steroids and Crohn’s: The Relief vs. Risk Reality Check
Steroids can provide rapid relief for Crohn’s flares, but they come with important limitations and risks. We explore the reality of making this treatment decision and what it means for your long-term IBD management strategy.
IL-22: The Body’s Helper That Sometimes Hurts IBD Patients
New research reveals how IL-22, a protein that helps heal the gut, can also fuel inflammation in IBD when levels remain elevated. Understanding this double-edged role could lead to more targeted treatments for Crohn’s and colitis.

New Hope: Could Nerve Stimulation Transform IBD Treatment?
Boomerang Medical has raised $20 million to develop a breakthrough device-based treatment for IBD using gentle electrical nerve stimulation. This approach could offer hope for patients seeking alternatives to traditional drug therapies and surgery.
New Stem Cell Research Could Change Surgery Outlook for Crohn’s
New research into mesenchymal stem cell therapy for Crohn’s disease shows promise in reducing the need for repeat surgeries by actually healing damaged tissue rather than just managing symptoms. This regenerative approach could represent a fundamental shift from reactive treatment to true healing for many IBD patients.
New IBD Pregnancy Guidelines Offer Hope for Future Mothers
New global guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for women with IBD considering pregnancy, offering hope and clear guidance for family planning. Most IBD medications are considered safe during pregnancy, and staying in remission is key to healthy outcomes.
