Abstract excerpt
JAK2 genetic variants are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and JAK inhibitors are being evaluated for therapy targeting immune-mediated diseases, including IBD. As JAK pathway-mediated cytokine regulation varies across cell types and stimulation conditions, we examined how JAK signaling and IBD-associated JAK2 variants regulate distinct acute and chronic microbial product exposure outcomes in...
