Coeliac disease in 2013

New insights in dietary-gluten-induced autoimmunity

Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology volume 11, pages 80–82 (2014)Cite this article

Subjects

Coeliac disease comprises intolerance against dietary wheat, rye and barley gluten and is one of the most common food-related life-long disorders in Western countries. In 2013, new knowledge of the clinical diversity of coeliac disease and further details about the autoimmune aspects of this disorder have emerged.
