Intestinal strictures are thought to result from excessive deposition of extracellular matrix by activated mesenchymal cells. In this study, we provide evidence that supports a potential role of fibrocytes (bone marrowderived mesenchymal precursors) in collagen deposition in Crohn's disease strictures. Inasmuch as fibrocyte numbers correlate with sonographic measures of bowel stiffness, fibrocyte numbers may predict the need for therapy escalation.
