Brief description Our research recently described a mouse that shows excellent similarities to human inflammatory bowel diseases. We further show that the disease mediating substances called cytokines are also similar between our mouse and UC. Particularly, a recently described network of cytokines that are the major mediators of disease in our mice and human IBD. This project examines how we can best interfere with the actions of these cytokines to treat and prevent intestinal inflammation.
