My current research project uses stem cell organogenesis to examine H. pylori infection in the human stomach and determine whether infection upregulates epithelial ST6Gal-I expression, a ...

(b) The intestinal mucosal interface, a complex system that must integrate interactions among the microbiota, mucus layer, associated protective compounds, epithelial cells and underlying immune ...

The nanoscale systems have to penetrate or diffuse through the mucosal membrane to reach the epithelium as depicted in Figure 3A & B. The mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells ...

while mucosal epithelial damage is more severe owing to a lack of compensation by the weakly expressed Dsg1. In mucocutaneous pemphigus vulgaris, antibodies against both Dsg1 and Dsg3 are produced ...

A research team from Shenyang Agricultural University, led by Dr. Bin Li, has highlighted the potential of ...

Viral infections are marked by a constant battle between the invading virus and the infected host.The outcome of this ...

10 A nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium that is a component of the innate immune barrier normally guards ... 20 Candida albicans spontaneously colonize the mucosa of the esophagus, ...

Savidge's lab is focused on emerging research concepts, including the interaction of microbes with epithelium, immune cells and nervous system in the induction ... These studies have found that gut ...

In this regard, single-cell cultures (epithelial cells, fibroblasts) derived from oral mucosa and grown as a two-dimensional (2D) culture have been widely used for this purpose. 3D models that ...

The findings are significant for the liver research community and others interested in the gut-liver axis. (A) AOAH cleaves the two piggyback fatty acyl chains from the lipid A moiety, inactivating ...
