Inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic reprogramming: From pathological mechanisms to targeted interventions

Abstract

This cover is inspired by the famous ancient Chinese warfare tale of “Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats.” Here, Liang Zhuge (scientists) borrowed (harness) arrows (intratumoral bacteria) shot from the enemy battle ships (tumor) and decorated them with blue fire (manipulated or engineered them specifically) to fight back and lit the enemy (tumor).
