Brief description Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two debilitating conditions known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), affect more than 61,000 Australians. There is no cure for IBD. All gut functions are controlled by enteric neurons in the gut wall. Inflammation causes damage and death of these neurons leading to gut dysfunctions. This is the first study defining the classes of human enteric neurons affected by inflammation. This study will test several potential new targets for the treatment of IBD.
