Core Tip
Core Tip: Inflammatory bowel diseases include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis, characterized by inflammation in different areas. In CD, gut bacteria can invade mesenteric fat, leading to complications. Fecal microbiota transplantation is explored to restore gut balance, but its effectiveness in CD is still uncertain, with ongoing questions about symptom duration and treatment frequency. There is a critical need for long-term solutions, as emphasized by recent research.
