Regular stool tests already used in NHS care, combined with dietary information, could help identify people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at higher risk of relapse, a major study suggests.

University of Edinburgh scientists developed a luminescent reporter that detected granzyme A activity in stool samples, ...

A test that rapidly detects signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in stool samples could improve future diagnosis and monitoring of the condition, a study suggests.

Researchers in Edinburgh have developed a rapid stool-based test aiming to improve the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel ...

One method used to diagnose (or monitor) common inflammatory disorders, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is to measure the amount of the protein calprotectin in stool samples. In ...

Common inflammatory disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease can be diagnosed or monitored by measuring the protein calprotectin in stool samples, while serum levels of calprotectin ...

Scientists have developed a peptide that binds to the protein calprotectin, a marker of major inflammatory disorders, and shown that it is suitable for diagnostic tests. The use of synthetic peptides ...
