The last decade has seen tremendous advances in our knowledge, which has led to genuine improvements in our understanding of the pathogenesis and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The combined power of cellular and molecular biology has begun to unveil the enigmas of IBD, and, consequently, substantial gains have been made in the treatment of IBD. Refinements in drug formulation have provided the ability to target distinct sites of delivery, while enhancing the safety and efficacy of older agents. Simultaneous progress in biotechnology has fostered the development of new agents that strategically target pivotal processes in disease pathogenesis. This article addresses our current understanding of the pathogenesis of IBD, including the latest developments in animal models and covers agents currently used in the treatment of IBD as well as emerging therapies.
