Abstract:
Recent progresses in basic science have opened new pathogenic scenarios in inflammatory bowel disease. The T helper cell type (Th)1/Th2 paradigm has been outdated thanks to the advances in understanding the function of Th17 cells. Innate immunity, nonimmune cells, and defective tolerogenic mechanisms play a no less crucial role than do adaptive immunity, immune cells, and hyperactivation of effector mechanisms. These new paradigms, together with the no longer "static" but "dynamic" vision of intestinal inflammation, highlight new possible therapeutic targets in inflammatory bowel disease.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
