Although the exact cause of IBD remains undetermined, the condition appears to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors resulting in an aberrant activation of the mucosal immune system. This book contains a series of interdisciplinary discussions between clinical and basic scientists focusing on key issues such as: Epithelial cell and molecular biology, including apNovartis Foundation symposium ;263.Inflammatory bowel diseasesCongressesGastroenteritisCongressesInflammatory bowel diseasesGastroenteritis616.344Chadwick Derek91632Goode Jamie283336MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910841661103321Inflammatory bowel disease4136702UNINA
