Scientists have finally discovered the cause of severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic condition affecting millions worldwide. The cause is a genetic mutation that impairs the function of a protein called LRRC31, which regulates the immune response in the gut. The discovery could lead to new treatments and diagnostics for IBD and a better understanding of how the gut microbiome influences health and disease. #IBD #LRRC31 #GutHealth
