I should have made the title more obvious, but the breakthrough relates to UC as well, not just Crohns.

Thanks twbb, this article was posted the other day, I think it's on either page 2 or 3 now....probably why you haven't gotten any responses. I always like when people repost articles though in case others that haven't been on the board for a day or so and may have missed it.

Thanks for the link.....interesting.

Poor mice........

Lets hope they get some Tabs knocked out quickly, I doubt it though it will probably take years, and will it work on every one I wonder?.

other therapies inthe pipeline will appear 1st. THis also does not seem to cover everything - but it is a potentially uesful puzzel piece.

some discussion already: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2371642

what I find most encouraging is how frequenlty new trials and new puzzel pieces are in the news nowadays. Also how diverse they are in where they attack UC.
