title: S100A12: a noninvasive marker of inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease.
abstract: Inflammatory bowel diseases are incurable conditions that feature gut inflammation. Standard markers have inadequate sensitivity and specificity. S100A12 is a new fecal marker that has promise as a non-invasive indicator of gut inflammation. This article reviews recent studies focusing on S100A12 and highlights the current and potential roles of this biomarker.
