Impaired intestinal epithelial barrier is highly affected in inflammatory bowel disease. Transmembrane collagens connecting the epithelial cells to the extracellular matrix have an important role in epithelial cell homeostasis. Thus, we sought to determine whether the transmembrane type 23 collagen could serve as a surrogate marker for disease activity in patients with Crohn’s disease and … Continue reading Elevated ectodomain of type 23 #collagen is a novel biomarker of the intestinal epithelium to monitor disease activity in #ulcerative colitis and #Crohn’s disease
