Rare intestinal diseases encompass a range of uncommon disorders impacting the digestive system, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, leading to diverse symptoms and complications. Our company specializes in pharmaceutical research and development for rare intestinal diseases, with a strong focus on delivering extensive preclinical services tailored to professionals in this field.

Overview of Intestinal Diseases

The gastrointestinal system comprises a complex interplay of microorganisms, epithelial cells, immune cells, and food antigens. Symptoms of intestinal diseases can include anal or rectal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Rare intestinal diseases can be classified based on factors like their root causes and symptoms, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract, rare intestinal tumors, motility disorders, and more.

Pathogenesis of Intestinal Diseases

The pathogenesis of intestinal diseases often involves intricate interactions among genetic predispositions, environmental influences, and immune system dysregulation within the gut. The gut microbiota composition and microbiota-derived signaling molecules play crucial roles in human health and disease. Moreover, the intricate communication between the nervous and immune systems in the gut, known as the gut-brain axis, is essential for regulating intestinal function and immune responses.
