Adenosine in Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function [PDF]
At the intestinal front, several lines of defense are in place to resist infection and injury, the mucus layer, gut microbiome and strong epithelial junctions, to name a few. Their collaboration creates a resilient barrier.

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coliSummary [PDF]
Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

Ribosome Homeostasis Regulated by SETD2 Preserves Intestinal Epithelial Barrier [PDF]
Strict regulation of epithelial cells is crucial for maintaining intestinal barrier integrity and preventing intestinal diseases. While transcriptional regulation is well recognized as vital in this process, translational regulation is equally important.

Baicalin mitigates hyperglycemia-linked intestinal epithelial barrier impairment in part by inhibiting the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps [PDF]
BackgroundUnder hyperglycemic conditions, impaired intestinal barrier integrity leads to heightened level of inflammation, playing important roles in driving diabetic complications.

Deciphering the Complex Signaling 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 epithelial barrier and mucosal immunity
Intestinal mucosa integrates primary digestive functions with immune functions such as pathogen surveillance, antigen transport and induction of mucosal immunity and tolerance. Intestinal adaptive immunity is elicited in organized mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (O-MALT) that is composed of antigen-presenting cells and lymphocytes and achieved by ...

Allicin Improves Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function and Prevents LPS-Induced Barrier Damages of Intestinal Epithelial Cell Monolayers [PDF]
Gut barrier disruption is the initial pathogenesis of various diseases. We previously reported that dietary allicin improves tight junction proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum stressed jejunum. However, whether the allicin benefits the gut barrier within mycotoxin or endotoxin exposure is unknown.

Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function and Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants. NEC is characterized by intestinal tissue inflammation and necrosis. The intestinal barrier is altered in NEC, which potentially contributes to its pathogenesis by promoting intestinal bacterial translocation and stimulating the inflammatory response.
