The lab explores ways to detect inflammatory bowel disease from a blood sample before symptoms appear.
AboutAbout the lab
Detecting intestinal inflammation in blood before symptoms appear
In the Endoscopic Medicine Lab, Associate Professor Takeshi Yamamura studies how to detect inflammatory bowel disease through a blood draw, before the patient notices any symptoms.
The lab is run by faculty of the Department of Endoscopy at Nagoya University Hospital.
Associate Professor Takeshi Yamamura's field is the small intestine and large intestine of the digestive tract.
The aim is to start treatment early and prevent irreversible changes such as narrowing of the intestine.
Key terms
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- A general term for diseases in which inflammation of the intestine persists (IBD). In Crohn's disease, the intestine may already be narrowed at the time of diagnosis.
- Liquid biopsy
- A method of detecting disease by examining a blood sample.
- Extracellular vesicles
- Small sacs released by cells. They contain RNA and other molecules, and the sugar chains on their surface may make it possible to tell whether they come from the intestine.
ResearchResearch themes
Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease begins only after symptoms appear and a diagnosis is made. In Crohn's disease, irreversible changes such as intestinal narrowing may already have occurred by the time of diagnosis. This lab searches for blood markers that can pick up the disease before symptoms appear, with the aim of leading to earlier treatment.
