🍬Excess dietary #sugar directly modifies the metabolism & transcriptome of the colonic epithelium
🍬Sugar-mediated effects on colonic stem & transit-amplifying cells reduce their proliferative ability & inhibit their restorative capability after damage

#IBD patients, rightfully, are concerned that biologics ⬆️ risk of cancer.

This study in @AmJGastro indicates the opposite.

⏺nationwide, Japan, retro, caveats - yes

🟢biologics + regular endo = ⬇️advanced cancers

@SciImmunology @henricksonlab So excited for this story on IgA deficiency to be out at @SciImmunology ! Great collaboration with @henricksonlab. We were curious why most kids with IgA deficiency were not symptomatic. What exactly is IgA doing for the mucosal and systemic immunity? https://t.co/g5deokc1id
