Core Tip	We now know that non-invasively collected colorectal mucus contains diagnostically informative cells that can be analysed to look for various biomarkers. The presence of some of these biomarkers have the potential role in diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. This is an exciting field that we believe is worth exploring further.
