Investigating Gut Permeability in Animal Models of Disease
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 A growing number of investigations report the association between gut permeability and intestinal or extra-intestinal disorders under the basis that translocation of gut luminal contents could affect tissue function, either directly or indirectly. Still,

Injury of respiratory epithelium. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1980 The large surface area provided by the respiratory tract epithelium of humans for exposure to microbial agents and toxic substances in the environment makes this organ system very vulnerable but a good early indicator of adverse health effects. However, the complexity of pulmonary defense mechanisms complicates definition of the interactive effects of ...

Engineering Airway Epithelium [PDF]
Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2012 Airway epithelium is constantly presented with injurious signals, yet under healthy circumstances, the epithelium maintains its innate immune barrier and mucociliary elevator function. This suggests that airway epithelium has regenerative potential (I. R. Telford and C. F. Bridgman, 1990).
