Gluten affects epithelial differentiation-associated genes in small intestinal mucosa of coeliac patients
23 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
In coeliac disease gluten induces an immunological reaction in genetically susceptible patients, and influences on epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation in the small-bowel mucosa. Our aim was to find novel genes which operate similarly in epithelial proliferation and differentiation in an epithelial cell differentiation model and in coeliac disease patient small-bowel mucosal biopsy samples. The...
