A novel role of circular RNA in intestinal epithelial repair
Systemic inflammation in pre-clinical ulcerative colitis
Pre-clinical ulcerative colitis is poorly defined. We aimed to characterize the pre-clinical systemic inflammation in ulcerative colitis, using a comprehensive set of proteins. Continue reading
Liver-resident bystander CD8+ T cells contribute to liver disease pathogenesis in chronic hepatitis D virus infection
The hepatitis D virus (HDV) causes the most severe form of chronic hepatitis, often progressing to cirrhosis within 5-10 years. There is no curative treatment and the mechanisms underlying the accelerated liver disease progression are unknown. Continue reading
Anti-microbial antibody response is associated with future onset of Crohn’s disease independent of biomarkers of altered gut barrier function, subclinical inflammation, and genetic risk
/Aim: Altered host immune reactivity to microbial antigens is hypothesized to trigger the onset of Crohn’s disease (CD). We aimed to assess whether increased serum anti-microbial antibody response in asymptomatic first-degree relatives (FDR) of CD pati… Continue reading
Comparison of culture with antibiogram to NGS using bacterial isolates and formalin fixed paraffin embedded gastric biopsies
The decline in Helicobacter pylori cure rates emphasizes the need for readily available methods to determine antimicrobial susceptibility. Continue reading

Serial ctDNA detection using a personalized, tumor-informed assay in esophageal adenocarcinoma patients following resection
Outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis: a N3C Study
In chronic liver disease (CLD) patients with or without cirrhosis, existing studies on the outcomes with SARS-CoV-2 infection have limited generalizability. We used the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C), a harmonized electronic health record (E… Continue reading
