科学家发现免疫细胞在克罗恩病中引发肠道痕. Scientists discover immune cells trigger intestinal scarring in Crohn's disease.

爱丁堡大学的科学家们已经确定出一种特定的细胞机制，可以触发克罗恩病肠道瘢痕形成。 Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have identified a specific cellular mechanism that triggers intestinal scarring in Crohn’s disease. 研究表明免疫细胞群与其他细胞相互作用, 刺激过多的原蛋白生产,导致纤维化, 这往往会导致手术. The research shows clusters of immune cells interact with other cells to stimulate excess collagen production, causing fibrosis that often leads to surgery. 这项发现为新疗法提供了希望, 可以防止痕形成, 而目前的抗炎药物无法解决这个问题. This discovery offers hope for new treatments that could prevent scarring, a problem not addressed by current anti-inflammatory medications.
