Beneficial autoimmunity at body surfaces – immune surveillance and rapid type 2 immunity regulate tissue homeostasis and cancer [PDF]
Epithelial cells line body surface tissues and provide a physicochemical barrier to the external environment. Frequent microbial and non-microbial challenges such as those imposed by mechanical disruption, injury or exposure to noxious environmental ...

Epithelial barrier dysfunction in bronchial asthma
The pathogenesis of bronchial asthma is based on chronic inflammation as a response to etiological factors. It causes bron-chial hyperreactivity, remodeling of the respiratory tract and hypersecretion of mucus.
