Researchers have created a detailed map of childhood Crohn’s disease before and after treatment to help understand how it progresses. This important work suggests anti-TNF therapy might push the pediatric cell ecosystem towards more resistant disease. buff.ly/GcSlAg1

Figure 6 from the article showing (a) A principal component analysis (PCA) plot of each patient’s end cell cluster composition as determined by ARBOL for T/NK/ILC, myeloid, and epithelial cells from FGID and pediCD patients where the end cell clusters frequency is calculated among total cells and colors represent disease state and treatment response. (b) The Spearman rank correlation between PC1 of the joint T/NK/ILC, myeloid, and epithelial cell frequency analysis with anti-TNF response.
