One of the biomarkers pointing to the presence of inflammation is calprotectin, a protein that can be found in stool samples. Fecal calprotectin has been used for several years as a diagnostic aid ...

A new swallowable biosensor pill could someday make tracking inflammatory bowel disease as simple as checking the color of ...

When the researchers thought they'd finished developing the method, it could identify 97% of the proteins in each stool sample, which was a high rate, but the failure to consistently characterize ...

A swallowable pill changes color to detect gut inflammation. This biosensor offers a non-invasive way to monitor IBD. It promises easier at-home care without the need for tests.

In a study being published today in Cell, the scientists present a method that can simultaneously identify, through testing a stool sample, all the proteins in the intestine – including those ...

In the researchers study, 182 stool samples were collected from patients with IBD and IBS between October 2010 and October 2011 and stored at freezing temperatures.

A University of Manchester test on the mucus lining of the intestine, performed in mice, has found changes in bacteria that could lead to inflammatory bowel disease 12 weeks earlier than previously ...
