Core Tip

Core Tip: In this study, we discovered that enhancer of zeste homolog 2 contributed to apoptosis and inflammatory response by inactivating janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 may be applied as a potential target for IBD therapy.
