Restoring mucosal barrier homeostasis by in situ formation of a living-synthetic therapeutic coating [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe mucosal barrier consisting of physicochemical, immune, and microbial components is the first line of defense against external stimuli. Breakdown of the mucosal barrier causes the occurrences of various diseases, while methods capable of ...

Non-canonical IL‑22 receptor signaling remodels the oral mucosal barrier during Candida albicans immunosurveillance [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMucosal barrier integrity is vital for homeostasis with commensal organisms while preventing pathogen invasion. Here we show that fungal-induced immunosurveillance enhances resistance to fungal outgrowth and tissue invasion by remodeling the oral mucosal

Maintenance of intestinal homeostasis by mucosal barriers [PDF]
Inflammation and Regeneration, 2018 Background The intestine is inhabited by a tremendous number of microorganisms, which provide many benefits to nutrition, metabolism and immunity. Mucosal barriers by intestinal epithelial cells make it possible to maintain the symbiotic relationship ...

Tight junction channel regulation by interclaudin interference
Nature Communications, 2022 Tight junctions are formed by claudin proteins that can be classified as pore- or barrier-forming. Here, Shashikanth et al. report a third function, termed interclaudin interference, in which one claudin inhibits pore function of another claudin by ...
