Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) represent inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with multifactorial pathogenesis, involving genetic, environmental and microbial factors. Interactions between gut microbiota and immune system result in changes in metabolic pathways. Metabolomics is a comprehensive and quantitative (or semi-quantitative) analysis of metabolites synthetized in human's biological system. It has been shown that metabolic profiling might be used to identify disease biomarkers. Recent findings confirmed alterations in the number of metabolites in patients with IBD. However, most of the studies included adult individuals with ongoing treatment which might have affected the metabolite profiling. Therefore, the aim of our study was to collect the knowledge about metabolomics in paediatric patients with CD or UC based on the currently published literature.

Metagenomics has revealed the incredible diversity of phages within the human gut. However, very few of these phages have been subjected to in-depth experimental characterization. One promising method of obtaining novel phages for experimental characterization is through induction of the prophages integrated into the genomes of cultured gut bacteria.

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) varies by location, potentially affecting therapy efficacy and surgery risk, although research on this topic is conflicting. This study aims to investigate the independent association between CD location and therapeutic patterns.
Methods: We analyzed patients with CD diagnosed from January 2005 to May 2023 registered in the nationwide ENEIDA registry.

Background And Study Aims: Monitoring the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) patients is now frequently made in the form of patient reported outcomes (PRO), rather than historical clinical activity scores. Unlike several chronic diseases, the role of telemonitoring in IBD has not yet been defined, particularly in terms of patient compliance with remote monitoring; the aim of our study was to assess patient compliance with digital monitoring of PRO as part of routine medical follow-up.
Patients And Methods: we performed a monocentric prospective study in the Gastroenterology Unit of Liège's University Hospital between May 2023 and February 2024.

Dogs are increasingly recognized as valuable large animal models for understanding human intestinal diseases, as they naturally develop conditions similar to those in humans, such as Enterohemorrhagic , , inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcerative colitis. Given the similarity in gut flora between dogs and humans, canine intestinal models are ideal for translational research. However, conventional extracellular matrix-embedded organoids present challenges in accessing the lumen, which is critical for gut function.

Objective: The impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flares remains a matter of debate. This study aimed to evaluate patients with CMV infection who presented with IBD exacerbation in terms of diagnosis and treatment and investigate the importance of CMV DNA levels in colitis development.
Materials And Methods: Patients who were followed up with IBD and examined with clinical suspicion of CMV colitis at a university hospital between January 2016 and December 2021 were retrospectively scanned.
