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.

Chloride channels regulate differentiation and barrier functions of the mammalian airway. [PDF]
The conducting airway forms a protective mucosal barrier and is the primary target of airway disorders. The molecular events required for the formation and function of the airway mucosal barrier, as well as the mechanisms by which barrier dysfunction ...

A Novel Non-invasive Method to Detect RELM Beta Transcript in Gut Barrier Related Changes During a Gastrointestinal Nematode Infection [PDF]
Currently, methods for monitoring changes of gut barrier integrity and the associated immune response via non-invasive means are limited. Therefore, we aimed to develop a novel non-invasive technique to investigate immunological host responses ...

Celiac Disease Monocytes Induce a Barrier Defect in Intestinal Epithelial Cells [PDF]
Intestinal epithelial barrier function in celiac disease (CeD) patients is altered. However, the mechanism underlying this effect is not fully understood.

Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip [PDF]
The intestinal epithelium is a critical component of the gut barrier. Composed of a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) held together by tight junctions, this delicate structure prevents the transfer of harmful microorganisms, antigens ...

LRH-1 mitigates intestinal inflammatory disease by maintaining epithelial homeostasis and cell survival. [PDF]
Epithelial dysfunction and crypt destruction are defining features of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, current IBD therapies targeting epithelial dysfunction are lacking.

Epithelial barrier hypothesis and the development of allergic and autoimmune diseases
The “epithelial barrier hypothesis” proposes that genetic predisposition to epithelial barrier damage, exposure to various epithelial barrier–damaging agents and chronic periepithelial inflammation are responsible for the development of allergic and ...
