We commonly use #nitrofurantoin to treat #UTI and even sometimes as prophylaxis for recurrent infections.

Super safe #antibiotic but a reminder that rarely it can cause serious complications #lung #fibrosis

Master of Fibrosis Knowledge
from @CleClinicMD💪
and his in-depth lecture on this process
in #IBD and #EoE 👏

What can be done and, above all, how to stop this process❓❔

Where is the future of #fibrosis treatment, not only in #CrohnsDisease❔❓

We are so thrilled to see our new study out in @CellReports today (https://bit.ly/3XJ5MXB)! We investigated #platelet-#macrophage-crosstalk in #fibrosis identifying a platelet-instructed SPP1 macrophage subset that controls fibroblast activation. 1/11

#covid causes #liver stiffness:

"Liver stiffness could indicate long-term liver injury such as #inflammation or #fibrosis, the buildup of scar tissue in the liver.

Healthier liver tissue diminishes over time causing the liver to stop functioning properly, and in severe cases progressive fibrosis can lead to liver #cancer or failure."
