However, some patients are not responsive to this therapy and the concomitant use of this biologics with other immunosuppressive drugs that ameliorate treatment leads to important adverse effects.

Inflammmatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn's disease are characterized by Th1 and Th17 exacerbated inflammatory response besides a lack of regulation by regulatory T cells (Tregs). Chronic stress is a risk factor for IBD development while the endocrine system may also play a regulatory role by producing glucocorticoids (GC) which are anti-inflammatory mediators that may induce Treg dif…
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects a significant number of individuals worldwide. The intestine is also susceptible to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms persisting in post-acute COVID-19 (PACS) cases. In individuals with IBD, the prolonged presence of SARS-CoV-2 antigens in the intestine is associated with COV…
The interaction between pre-existing intestinal inflammation and gut health is a topic of growing interest, especially regarding potential sex-specific differences. This undergraduate research activity aims to investigate the impact of colitis and its differences in the intestines of male and female mice. The study will use dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce colitis and examine whethe…
