Stanford University received NIH funding for research into bacterial proteases that may reduce inflammation and pain signaling in the gut and provide potential therapeutic approaches for inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal diseases.

### Description

Project to identify, express, and characterize bacterial-derived proteases that deactivate human protease-activated receptors and may help protect against gut inflammation, pain, and mucosal barrier disruption.
