- Abstract
The pathophysiological mechanisms that generate chronic inflammatory lesions in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have, at least in part, been unveiled.

The therapeutic manipulation of gut microecology has attracted high expectation as a strategic area for the control and prevention of IBD.
