AI Summary

The study, led by the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, found a hidden flaw capable of damaging intestinal cells. This flaw persists even in patients whose disease is well controlled and who appear symptom‑free. The findings suggest that the condition can begin and continue silently, highlighting the need for earlier detection.
