- Abstract
The article presents a response by readers to the article on the molecular signature of persistent histological inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC) with mucosal healing. Topics discussed include higher relapse rates in patients with any residual inflammatory activity, and the recommended optimal sampling of two biopsies from each colonic segment. Also noted is the measure's help in distinguishing transiency from error in the histologic normalization.
