Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition characterized by immune system disruption in the intestines, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
- Research indicates that telomere dysfunction in intestinal cells activates a signaling pathway involving ATM and YAP1, leading to increased levels of pro-IL-18, which is important in the inflammation seen in IBD.
- Studies on patients with older-onset IBD revealed telomere issues and activation of this pathway, suggesting that targeting telomere dysfunction could be a potential therapeutic strategy for managing IBD.
