1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Protects Intestinal Epithelial Barrier by Regulating the Myosin Light Chain Kinase Signaling Pathway.
The myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) pathway controls intestinal epithelial barrier permeability by regulating the tight junction and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3)-vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling protects the epithelial barrier. These data demonstrate that 1,25(OH)2D3-VDR signaling preserves the mucosal barrier integrity by abrogating MLCK-dependent tight junction dysregulation during colonic inflammation. Read more »

Specific carbohydrate diet for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease in clinical practice within an academic IBD center.
Despite dietary factors being implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), nutritional therapy, outside of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN), has not had a defined role within the treatment paradigm of pediatric IBD within IBD centers. Read more »
