flag Reduced layilin protein in IBD patients raises clotting risk, but new Rac1 inhibitors show promise.

flag Researchers found that patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have a 40% lower level of a key protein, layilin, which normally prevents blood clotting. flag This leads to a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes due to increased clotting. flag However, drugs currently in clinical trials for other conditions, known as Rac1 inhibitors, showed promise in reducing excessive clotting in both human and animal models, potentially improving IBD management without increasing bleeding risks.
