For the first time globally, we have observed changes in the newborn metabolome of individuals who later develop IBD. Our study has just been published in Gastroenterology and establishes a foundation for future research into early metabolic alterations in IBD.

Our study on maternal intake during pregnancy suggests that adhering to a diverse dietary pattern with a broad intake of various food groups may protect against IBD in offspring. This finding may be key in future preventive strategies targeting early risk factors.

Better monitoring of patients with IBD. That is the aim of our new study exploring inflammatory trajectories of patients with IBD. The study has been carried out at the initiative of @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social and just been published in @aga-cgh.bsky.social.

Human faecal samples can be used for the early detection and characterization of colorectal cancer and has a much lower error ratio, cost and less discomfort to patients than colonoscopy. That is one of the most interesting findings in our new study ➡️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Patients with chronic pouchitis can be identified based on antibiotic use after an initial episode of pouchitis. Our new study has just been published in AJG. It suggests the need for improved risk stratification at the time of IPAA surgery.

Diversity! We had the privilege of hosting the annual site visit of @dg.dk, inviting us to provide our view on risk-taking in the context of Centers of Excellence. Our answer: Working together across scientific fields and global cultures for us is a path to original thinking and breakthroughs.

The largest population-based study on sexual dysfunction among patients with IBD using the Danish SEXUS cohort has just been published in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease journal.

Our results indicate need for incorporation of sexual health in IBD care.

Our new study in @jinternmed.bsky.social shows that statin use is associated with a 16% reduction in the risk of IBD development. The findings suggest a potential additional benefit of statins and support further research into their role in IBD prevention.

These findings highlight that molecular processes underlying IBD may be detectable long before clinical onset and may also contribute to increased cancer risk later in life.
