Feedback loop explains inflammatory effect on intestinal lining
Signals released by immune cells during a bout of inflammatory bowel disease interfere with intestinal cells ability to regenerate. Yet people with inflammatory bowel diseases have a higher risk of developing colon cancer: a hyper-activation of growth in those same intestinal cells.
