The stress polarity signaling (SPS) pathway serves as a marker and a target in the leaky gut barrier: implications in aging and cancer. [PDF]
The gut barrier separates trillions of microbes from the largest immune system in the body; when compromised, a "leaky" gut barrier fuels systemic inflammation, which hastens the progression of chronic diseases.

Deciphering the complex signalling systems that regulate intestinal epithelial cell death processes and shedding [PDF]
Intestinal epithelial cells play a fundamental role in maintaining homeostasis. Shedding of intestinal cells in a controlled manner is critical to maintenance of barrier function.

Intestinal permeability measurements: general aspects and possible pitfalls
Introduction: Disturbances of the gut barrier function have been related to a variety of diseases, including intestinal and extra-intestinal diseases. The intestinal permeability tests are considered useful tools for evaluating disease severity and to ...

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.

Intestinal Barrier Function in Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]
The kidneys are key contributors to body homeostasis, by virtue of controlled excretion of excessive fluid, electrolytes, and toxic waste products. The syndrome of uremia equals the altered physiology due to irreversible loss of kidney function that is left uncorrected for, despite therapeutic intervention(s).

Biomarkers for monitoring intestinal health in poultry : present status and future perspectives [PDF]
Intestinal health is determined by host (immunity, mucosal barrier), nutritional, microbial and environmental factors. Deficiencies in intestinal health are associated with shifts in the composition of the intestinal microbiome (dysbiosis), leakage of ...

Gut microbiota-derived tryptophan metabolite indole-3-carboxaldehyde enhances intestinal barrier function via aryl hydrocarbon receptor/AMP-activated protein kinase signaling activation [PDF]
Objective Intestinal inflammatory diseases significantly affect animal health, primarily by disrupting intestinal barrier function. Indole-3-carboxaldehyde (IAld), a key metabolite of tryptophan derived from gut microbiota, exhibits protective properties

Intestinal barrier function and metabolic/liver diseases
Dietary, environmental or genetic changes contribute to the development of several metabolic and neurological diseases. Extensive research efforts have been directed towards examining how these factors modulate gut bacterial composition.

Mechanisms and Functional Implications of Intestinal Barrier Defects [PDF]
Intestinal epithelial barrier defects, or increased paracellular permeability, were first reported in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) over 25 years ago. Although increased permeability may herald relapse to active disease, suggesting that impaired barrier function may contribute to progression, limited understanding of the mechanisms that create ...
