Scientists at CSIC and at the Imperial College London have synthesized a new peptide that promotes and inhibits inflammatory pattern in intestinal dendritic cells. The peptide, derived from a protein secreted by Lactobacillus plantarum, can be used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Chron disease, ulcerative colitis, pouchitis and celiac disease. Partners are sought for license and development agreements.
