Abstract:
The mesentery in Crohn’s disease frequently displays disease manifestations, such as
mesenteric thickening and fat wrapping. Fibrocytes are a precursor cell type that can
differentiate into fibroblasts or adipocytes [1]. They have previously been identified in the
mesentery in inflammatory conditions such as mesenteric panniculitis [2]. This study aimed to
investigate the role of fibrocytes in Crohn’s mesenteric disease manifestations.

(Oxford University Press, 2017)Background: Recent advances in our understanding of mesenteric anatomy have shown that the mesentery is continuous along the intestinal tract at vascular, lymphatic and connective tissue levels [1]. Thus, the mesentery ...

The frequency at which these occur in CD point to a pathobiological relevance. Fat wrapping in particular ...
