Research
Antisense inhibitors which target the inflammatory process have been used to treat Pouchitis in clinical trials. Antisense inhibitors function by binding to messenger RNA (mRNA) produced by a gene and deactivating it, effectively turning that gene "off". Specifically applied to pouchitis, antisense inhibitors would be used to switch off the inflammatory process.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
