Abstract
When the organism encounters a foreign substance, it responds with mutual and regular interactions at different stages of the immune system. In airway diseases, the first encounter is at the epithelial level, where innate immune cells and their responses form the first leg of the protective mechanism. The most important barrier for environmental damage is the epithelial barrier. However, the epithelial barrier is not just a mechanical barrier. The formation of the microbiome on the epithelium and the tolerance or intolerance to environmental factors are vital. This vital balance is maintained between the epithelial surface and the subepithelial innate immune system. This is achieved by the epithelial line, which is a mechanical and functional barrier between them. In this respect, epithelial barrier function preservation has an important role in the development and prognosis of airway disease.
期刊介绍：
Tissue Barriers is the first international interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the architecture, biological roles and regulation of tissue barriers and intercellular junctions. We publish high quality peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics including structure and functions of the diverse and complex tissue barriers that occur across tissue and cell types, including the molecular composition and dynamics of polarized cell junctions and cell-cell interactions during normal homeostasis, injury and disease state. Tissue barrier formation in regenerative medicine and restoration of tissue and organ function is also of interest. Tissue Barriers publishes several categories of articles including: Original Research Papers, Short Communications, Technical Papers, Reviews, Perspectives and Commentaries, Hypothesis and Meeting Reports. Reviews and Perspectives/Commentaries will typically be invited. We also anticipate to publish special issues that are devoted to rapidly developing or controversial areas of research. Suggestions for topics are welcome. Tissue Barriers objectives: Promote interdisciplinary awareness and collaboration between researchers working with epithelial, epidermal and endothelial barriers and to build a broad and cohesive worldwide community of scientists interesting in this exciting field. Comprehend the enormous complexity of tissue barriers and map cross-talks and interactions between their different cellular and non-cellular components. Highlight the roles of tissue barrier dysfunctions in human diseases. Promote understanding and strategies for restoration of tissue barrier formation and function in regenerative medicine. Accelerate a search for pharmacological enhancers of tissue barriers as potential therapeutic agents. Understand and optimize drug delivery across epithelial and endothelial barriers.
