Originally Published 1 year ago — by SciTechDaily
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered a molecule that promotes intestinal healing and suppresses colorectal cancer growth by activating the Liver X receptor. This finding, published in Nature, could lead to new treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and cancer, addressing the need for alternatives to current therapies that often fail to help patients. The study highlights the potential of this molecule to treat chronic bowel disorders resulting from cancer therapies.
