"Got Guts" The Micro Version: Mechanical Stress-induced Connective Tissue Growth Factor and Intestinal Fibrosis
Manage episode 435786773 series 3332773
In this episode of "Gut Guts" coauthor Xuan-Zheng Shi discusses new research on intestinal fibrosis in Crohn’s-like colitis. The study found that mechanical stress causes a protein called CTGF to increase, leading to fibrosis. In a rat model, easing the mechanical stress reduced connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and lessened fibrosis. This suggests that mechanical stress may be important in causing fibrosis in Crohn’s disease.
