Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
|August 29, 2000
Abstract:
Cells of the intestinal mucosa live in a harsh environment and therefore rely heavily on the highly regulated process of cell death, apoptosis, to maintain tissue integrity. Imbalance in the intracellular events that modulate apoptosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.
