Studies have shown that altered immune cell transport and pathogenic immune cells are critical factors responsible for mucosal inflammation and tissue destruction in IBD. A defective intestinal barrier and microbial dysbiosis lead to such accumulation and local activation of immune cells, resulting in a pro-inflammatory cytokine loop that overrides anti-inflammatory signals and causes chronic intestinal inflammation.
