Effects of Mongersen (GED-0301) on Endoscopic and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Active Crohn’s Disease
GED-0301 is an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide with a sequence complementary to the Smad7 mRNA transcript. Smad7 is a negative regulator of transforming growth factor-β, which is increased in the intestinal mucosa of patients with active Crohn’s dise… Continue reading
Combination of Alcohol and Cigarette Smoke Induces Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Cell Death in Pancreatic Acinar Cells
Smoking, an independent risk factor for pancreatitis, accelerates the development of alcoholic pancreatitis. Alcohol feeding of mice induces upregulation of spliced X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1s), which regulates the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolde… Continue reading
A Panel of Methylated MicroRNA Biomarkers for Identifying High-Risk Patients with Ulcerative Colitis-associated Colorectal Cancer
Methylation of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) often occurs in an age-dependent manner, as a field defect in some instances, and may be an early event in colitis-associated carcinogenesis. We aimed to determine whether specific mRNA signature patterns (MIR… Continue reading
