🆕 | A new study co-led by @uofgsii.bsky.social's Professor @gwotzerho.bsky.social has identified a highly-specific immune signal of gut inflammation and translated it into a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool for IBD. 🔗Full story: www.gla.ac.uk/schools/infe... 🔬 Image: Emily Thompson 🧵1/2

Our group have studied whether stool #calprotectin vs. #QFIT (that can detect blood used as screening for bowel cancer) to monitor #IBD . 💩 We are looking for the 'patient voice' in our study, so very grateful for your time, share and RT! crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/get-involved...

Great effort by Duncan at ECCO meeting, Berlin. In UC gut stem cells, not only is there mitochondrial dysfunction (power failure) but loss of ketogenesis (backup power) is the critical tipping point. #mitochondria #ketogenic #ECCO2025 #colitis #stemcells #ibd Proud supervisor

We're making good progress in our MARVEL IBD trial www.marvelstudy.uk oral mitochondrial antioxidants in Ulcerative Colitis. Thus week our fab team in #Glasgow recruited a further 2 patients, nearly n=60 (target 200). 😀 #ibd #Colitis #mitochondria #trials
