Irbesartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker, inhibits colitis-associated tumourigenesis by blocking the MCP-1/CCR2 pathway

Abstract The introduction of anti-inflammatory therapies has enabled substantial improvement of disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, IBD can lead to serious complications such as intestinal fibrosis and colorectal cancer. Therefore, novel therapies reducing t...
