Apoptosis and Intestinal Barrier Function

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
The signal transduction pathways of the induction of apoptosis in the gastrointestinal tract have in part been discovered. However, almost nothing is known about the functional influence of apoptotic signals on intestinal barrier function. In this study the effect of camptothecin-induced apoptosis in HT-29/B6 monolayers and the influence of apoptosis ...

Moisturization and skin barrier function

Dermatologic Therapy, 2004
Over the past decade, great progress has been made toward elucidating the structure and function of the stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of the epidermis. SC cells (corneocytes) protect against desiccation and environmental challenge by regulating water flux and retention.

Do ‘Functional Barriers’ Function?

Packaging Technology and Science, 1996
The direct recycling of plastics (food grade plastic to food grade plastic) obviously gives rise to possible health hazards. Contaminants, picked up by the material during first usage, may migrate into food during second use.  ‘Functional barrier’ layers have been used for a long time (e.g.

Methods for the Assessment of Barrier Function

2016
Due to the ease of skin accessibility, a large variety of invasive and noninvasive in vitro and in vivo methods have been developed to study barrier function. The measurement of the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is most widely used in clinical studies.

Adrenomedullin and endothelial barrier function

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2007
SummaryAlthough loss of endothelial barrier function is a hallmark of every acute inflammation and contributes to fatal loss of organ function during severe infections, there is no sufficient therapy for stabilization of endothelial barrier function. Endogenous peptide adrenomedullin (AM) serum levels were shown to be increased during severe infection ...

Endothelial barrier function in preeclampsia

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2007
Impaired endothelial barrier function resulting in increased vascular permeability is a characteristic vascular response in preeclampsia, a hypertensive and multiple systemic disorder of human pregnancy. During the last two decades, endothelial function in preeclampsia has been intensively studied and significant progress has been made in understanding

Irritants and Skin Barrier Function

2016
The barrier response to irritant challenge involves complex biologic events and can be modulated by various environmental, exposure and host-related factors. Irritant damage to the epidermal barrier elicits a cascade of homeostatic or pathologic responses that could be investigated by both in vitro and in vivo methods providing different information at

Functional barriers: Properties and evaluation

Food Additives and Contaminants, 2005
Functional barriers are multilayer structures deemed to prevent migration of some chemicals released by food-contact materials into food. In the area of plastics packaging, different migration behaviours of mono- and multilayer structures are assessed in terms of lag time and of their influence of the solubility of the migrants in food simulants ...

Skin Barrier Function and Allergens

2016
The skin is an important barrier protecting us from mechanical insults, microorganisms, chemicals and allergens, but, importantly, also reducing water loss. A common hallmark for many dermatoses is a compromised skin barrier function, and one could suspect an elevated risk of contact sensitization (CS) and allergy following increased penetration of ...
