Preclinical Models of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colonic Treatments
Author(s): Iria Seoane-Viaño; Noemí Gómez-Lado; Francisco Otero-Espinar; Anxo Fernández-Ferreiro; Pablo Aguiar; Álvaro Ruibal; Asteria Luzardo-Álvarez
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which two main types are Crohn´s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The exact causes of IBD still remain unknown but are accepted to be multifactorial. For this reason, the use of animal models of IBD is gaining importance in preclinical research to clarify the pathogenic mechanisms of the disease and evaluate the therapeutic potential of new compounds. Non-invasive imaging techniques commonly used in clinical practice have also demonstrated their usefulness in the characterization of these animal models, since repeated evaluations can be carried out on each living animal over time....
