Abstract:Crohn’s disease (CD) is characterized by chronic inflammation and intestinal fibrosis leading to lifelong complications. However, disease pathogenesis is elusive and the therapeutic options are limited. We investigated the interaction between neutrophils and intestinal fibroblasts in the development of CD immunofibrosis. Peripheral neutrophils, enriched neutrophil extracellular traps (eNETs), serum, primary intestinal fibroblasts (PIFs) and intestinal biopsies from CD and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, and … Show more
