Epithelial barriers lining the skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts serve as primary interfaces between the external environment and the internal milieu, combining physical, chemical and ...

In a US study of over 20 million patients, seborrheic dermatitis showed significant associations with multiple epithelial barrier diseases (EBDs), including various skin, gastrointestinal, and ocular ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Data suggest shared drivers in the pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis and other epithelial barrier diseases, ...

The respiratory epithelium forms a continuous lining from the nasal vestibule to the distal alveoli, acting as both a physical barricade against inhaled particles and a dynamic immunological interface ...

Seborrheic dermatitis may disrupt the skin barrier, potentially exposing patients to other epithelial barrier diseases (EBDs) across various organ systems. A large cohort study found positive ...

Seborrheic dermatitis is positively associated with a range of epithelial barrier diseases, including dermatologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and ocular diseases. Seborrheic dermatitis is ...

Epithelial barrier disruption has a role in the pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis and other diverse epithelial barrier diseases. In adjusted models, seborrheic dermatitis was positively associated ...

The small airways serve as a primary line of defense against inhaled particles and facilitate gas exchange by directing air to the alveoli. These small airways are critical in the pathophysiology of ...

Humans are exposed to a variety of toxins and chemicals every day. According to the epithelial barrier hypothesis, exposure to many of these substances damages the epithelium, the thin layer of cells ...

Deep in the folds of the intestine, in microscopic pockets called crypts, a quiet surveillance system is always at work. Stem cells lining the gut wall are not just rebuilding tissue—they are ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising role for electricity in keeping our body’s protective cell layers healthy. Cells bumping against one another use electricity to identify which of their ...

Emerging evidence suggests that leptin, dysbiosis, and altered innate immunity may contribute to poor asthma control in ...
