Genes in irritable bowel syndrome
Pan-European interdisciplinary network to identify genetic factors (human genetics, epigenetics, metagenomics) contributing to IBS etiopathogenesis
An action in the Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences (BMBS) domain
within COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology)
of the European Science Foundation
in the European Union
Press Releases / News
Two markers related to the alteration of the epithelial permeability in irritable bowel syndrome patients discovered. Teams in Barcelona (Vicario and Santos et al.) and Heidelberg (Martinez and Niesler et al.) published their research based on the first joint venture initiated at the GENIEUR Starter Meeting in Bologna in 2012 in Gut.
