This video describes the pivotal role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors in the management of irritable bowel disease. TNF-alpha inhibitors are monoclonal antibodies that help prevent the immune system from mistakenly attacking the gastrointestinal tract, but come with the potential for immunogenicity that limits efficacy and can help bring on complications arising from infections.
ViewMechanisms of Gastrointestinal Inflammation in Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
This video explains the mechanisms of gastrointestinal inflammation underlying Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Viewers will learn what causes this inflammation at a cellular level and how environmental and genetic risk factors affect disease development.
ViewCrohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis: How Are They Different?
