Funded Activity Summary

The gastrointestinal tract is continuously exposed to the external environment as a consequence of what we ingest. We have therefore evolved distinct mechanisms to deal with exposure to non-pathogenic insults in the gut. Sometimes, however these mechanisms fail leading to chronic inflammation and resultant pathology, which can under certain circumstances develop into cancer. This study will investigate inflammation in the gut, with particular interest in the systems that control inflammation.
