The local increase in Met-enkephalin level during zymosan-induced peritonitis may be related to its local production by exudatory leukocytes (as evidenced by our previous experiments) and influx from distal centers, as its level is significantly decreased in blood, inguinal lymph nodes, and some brain areas (striatum, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland).

The risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) is increased in ulcerative colitis patients compared to the general population. This increased risk results from the state of chronic inflammation, a well-known tumour-promoting condition. This review explores the pathologic and molecular characteristics of colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC), emphasizing the distinct features from sporadic CRC.

Introduction: Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) can cause necrotic enteritis and higher mortality rates in piglets, by impairing the intestinal barrier function. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 40 (BA40) has showed potential ability to reduce C.

Obesity and its associated intestinal inflammatory responses represent a significant global challenge. (IF) is a dietary intervention demonstrating various health benefits, including weight loss, enhanced metabolic health, and increased longevity. However, its effect on the intestinal inflammation induced by high-fat diet (HFD) is still not fully comprehended.

Background & Aims: Retinoblastoma-binding protein 9 (RBBP9) was initially reported as cell cycle regulator via RB/E2F. Accumulating evidence has revealed the importance of RBBP9 in physiological and pathological states including inflammatory disease. However, the functional role of RBBP9 in ulcerative colitis (UC) and colitis-associated cancer (CAC) remains elusive.

Neurotensin (NT), a bioactive tridecapeptide aids in diabetic wound healing by modulating inflammation and angiogenesis. However, its rapid degradation in peptidase-rich wound environment (plasma half-life <2 min) limits its efficacy. To address this, neurotensin-conjugated polymeric porous microparticles (NT-PMP) were developed and loaded in gelatin (hydrogel 15% w/v) for topical application, enabling sustained NT release to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
