Correction to: Characterization of Creatine Kinase Levels in Tofacitinib‑Treated Patients with Ulcerative Colitis: Results from Clinical Trials.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be initiated following disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier. This disruption, in turn, permits luminal antigens unfettered access to the mucosal immune system and leads to an uncontrolled inflammatory response. Glycoalkaloids, which are found in potatoes, disru...
