β¦ Synopsis
There has been a resurgent interest in potential microbial etiologies of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Over the past decade there have been both epidemiological and tissue studies exploring the potential role of paramyxoviruses in IBD, particularly Crohn's disease. This article will review

Most conventional forms of drug therapy suppress or modify the host immunoinflammatory response and neglect the other contributor to disease pathogenesis-the environmental microflora. Probiotics are live microbial food ingredients that alter the enteric microflora and have a beneficial effect on hea
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disease with a genetic background. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two main types of IBD. There is indication that variants in the MDR1 gene are associated with development of IBD. However, the 20 published genetic as
## Abstract The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves an interaction between genetically determined host susceptibility, dysregulated immune response, and the enteric microbiota. Ecological treatments including probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics are actively studied in Crohn
## Abstract The mechanisms underlying memory are under intense investigation. One of the most promising candidates at the cellular level is longβterm potentiation (LTP). Numerous pharmacological and molecular genetic manipulations have led to alteration in both LTP and memory. However, the causal r
