Although the exact cause of IBD remains undetermined, the condition appears to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors resulting in an aberrant activation of the mucosal immune system. This book contains a series of interdisciplinary discussions between clinical and basic scientists focusing on key issues such as:  \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eEpithelial cell and molecular biology, including apoptosis, necrosis and cell survival\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role of bacterial milieu and mucosal bacteria in the IBD and of prebiotic and probiotic therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe progress towards the identification of susceptibility genes and phenotype-determining genes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe pharmacogenetics of IBD\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMucosal immunology and therapeutic strategies stemming therefrom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDerek J.
