A new review article has been published today in the Journal of Crohn’s and Colitis, entitled “Inflammatory Bowel Disease Drugs: A Focus on Autophagy“. The review, authored by Ms Kirsty Hooper, Dr Peter Barlow, Dr Craig Stevens and Dr Paul Henderson, highlights the known mechanisms of action of drugs commonly used to treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and how these therapeutics could potentially affect autophagy pathway regulation. This is particularly important as defective autophagy has been strongly linked to IBD pathogenesis.
The article is available now from the journal website and is indexed on PubMed.
