A simple blood test could soon help people hit by debilitating bowel diseases get the most effective treatment more quickly – reducing the risk of permanent damage that would ultimately require surgery.The UK-developed test, called…

Results of a new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve University represent a step toward improving our understanding of Crohn's disease and the factors that cause its intestinal inflammation. Crohn's disease is a type of…

Is stress to blame for Crohn's disease? Anxiety hormones impede the body's ability to fight off bad gut bacteria by disabling immune cells and causing the inflammatory disease, study suggestsExperts from Canada's McMaster…

A possible link between psychological stress and Crohn's disease flare-ups has been identified by a McMaster University-led study. Researchers using mouse models found that stress hormones suppressed the innate immune system that normally…

New research led by University of Limerick in Ireland has revealed a direct link between fatty tissue and Crohn's disease. The study, carried out by researchers at UL along with a team from University Hospital Limerick, is suggesting for…
