Immunoglobulin A Mucosal Immunity and Altered Respiratory Epithelium in Cystic Fibrosis
Cells, 2021 The respiratory epithelium represents the first chemical, immune, and physical barrier against inhaled noxious materials, particularly pathogens in cystic fibrosis. Local mucus thickening, altered mucociliary clearance, and reduced pH due to CFTR protein

Chemical, Physical, and Barrier Properties of Edible Film from Flaxseed Mucilage
BioResources, 2017 Chemical, physical, and barrier properties of flaxseed mucilage-based films were investigated to determine the appropriate applications for coating or packaging of food or bioproducts. The film samples were formed via casting with the addition of glycerol as a plasticizer up to a maximum of 5 wt.%.

Treatment with Entinostat Heals Experimental Cholera by Affecting Physical and Chemical Barrier Functions of Intestinal Epithelia [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2017 ABSTRACT We have shown previously that oral treatment with sodium butyrate or phenylbutyrate in an experimental model of shigellosis improves clinical outcomes and induces the expression of the antimicrobial peptide CAP-18 in the large intestinal epithelia.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Dual-sprayable, multi-functional hydrogel for effective prevention of peritoneal adhesions
Journal of Tissue EngineeringOver 90% of patients experience peritoneal adhesions after abdominal surgery, necessitating the use of anti-adhesion barriers. To effectively prevent tissue adhesions, strategies that combine physical and chemical blocking are essential.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Chemical and physical nature of the barrier against active ingredient penetration into leaves: effects of adjuvants on the cuticular diffusion barrier [PDF]
, 2022 Agrochemicals like systemic active ingredients (AI) need to penetrate the outermost barrier of the plant, known as the plant cuticle, to reach its right target site. Therefore, adjuvants are added to provide precise and efficient biodelivery by i.a. modifying the cuticular barrier and increasing the AI diffusion.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
