Stool-Based Biomarkers to Differentiate Between IBD and IBS
What are IBD and IBS?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two different gastrointestinal tract issues affecting millions of people every day. Although there is some overlap between symptoms of IBD and IBS, differences still remain in regards to pathologies, risks...
Differentiating Gastrointestinal Pathogens from IBD and IBS
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as infections from GI pathogens can present very similar symptoms. A host of tests have been developed to aid in the differentiation between IBD and IBS, such as calprotectin and lact...

Investigating Immunogenicity of IBD Biologics
Biologics have been commonly prescribed as therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) since the late 1990s. However, research demonstrates that not all individuals respond to the first biologic taken and many lose response over time1. As a result, there is a great need to explore the immunogenic...
