This study looks at how bacteria in the gut may affect scar tissue (fibrosis) and the immune system in people with Crohn's disease. By comparing tissue samples from people with and without Crohn's, researchers hope to understand why some people develop narrowing or blockages, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at healthy family members of people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to find early signs of these conditions before symptoms appear. It may help doctors predict and prevent inflammatory bowel disease.
This study collects blood, stool, tissue, and health information from people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), their relatives, and healthy volunteers to find patterns that may help diagnose or treat IBD better in the future.
This study looks at people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are having a colonoscopy to check for abnormal cells in the colon. The goal is to learn more about these growths and how likely they are to become cancer over time, which could help improve future monitoring and treatment.
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut may affect scarring (fibrosis) in the intestines, especially in people with Crohn's disease. By joining, you may help researchers understand why scarring happens, which could lead to better treatments.
This study follows people who have a parent, sibling, or child with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to help understand why some family members develop the condition. If you are 14 or older and do not already have IBD, you may be able to join.
