| Quote: | CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center Advisory Board has partnered with The University to launch a two million dollar campaign to support the first-ever mouse model for celiac disease, the world’s most common genetic autoimmune disease. Celiac disease affects approximately three million Americans and is triggered by the consumption of gluten--a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
For the first time, researchers at the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center will examine the underlying causes of the disease, test new therapies and identify new targets for treatment through mouse model research. Currently a gluten-free diet is only known treatment for celiac disease, offering only partial alleviation of symptoms. |
