Inflammation and the Intestinal Barrier: Leukocyte–Epithelial Cell Interactions, Cell Junction Remodeling, and Mucosal Repair

Posted on July 16, 2016 by Anny-Claude Luissint, Charles A. Parkos, Asma Nusrat

The intestinal tract is lined by a single layer of columnar epithelial cells that forms a dynamic, permeable barrier allowing for selective absorption of nutrients while restricting access to pathogens and food-borne antigens. Precise regulation of epi… Continue reading →

The gut microbiota affects intestinal permeability and mucosal mast cell (MMCs) responses. Activation of MMCs has been associated with absorption of dietary fat. We investigated whether the gut microbiota contributes to the fat-induced activation of MM… Continue reading →
