Do you have:

📌 Blood in your poo?
📌 Abdominal pain that won’t go away?
📌 Diarrhoea that can’t wait?

If you have experienced any of these symptoms, you may have a problem with your bowel health.

FREE testing kits are available for EX postcode residents aged 16–49 ➡️ bit.ly/IBDKit

🚨 SUPER EXCITED to share our new preprint on the mucosal and circulatory immune landscape of Crohn’s disease!

🩸 Blood is commonly used in biomarker discovery and drug development, but how well does it reflect what's actually happening in the gut? 👀

Tissue-specific and circulatory immune signatures of mucosal inflammation in Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease (CD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract driven by an aberrant immune response. To understand the immune mechanisms underlyin...

Interesting link between microbial metabolism and disease in IBD which is linked with high levels of succinate. Turns out this affects Treg stability and function. #Immunosky 🧪
Succinate drives gut inflammation by promoting FOXP3 degradation through a molecular switch - Nature Immunology
Fang and colleagues show that the metabolite succinate can inhibit succinylation, and consequently protection from ubiquitin-mediated degradation, of the transcription factor FOXP3, with consequences ...

Plenty of discussion at #ECCO2025 on opportunities for AI in IBD care. But how do the vast electricity/water requirements of AI servers fit our #sustainability aims? Are there offsets we can make? Can we justify the data storage requirements of continuous monitoring?

Really enjoyed working on this review for Frontline Gastroenterology. How do anti-IL23 therapies work? What’s the evidence for their use in IBD? And is there any guidance on how we should position them in the treatment landscape?
