Biology and Regulation of Blood-Tissue Barriers by Alexander S. Easton (auth.), C. Yan Cheng PhD (eds.)

By Alexander S. Easton (auth.), C. Yan Cheng PhD (eds.)

This e-book was once written via many extraordinary investigators who've spent many years to review diverse features of blood‑tissue barrier functionality. they've got summarized a few of the most recent and engaging improvement of their fields of analysis together with the blood‑brain barrier, the blood‑retinal barrier, the intestine barrier, the blood‑biliary barrier, the blood‑follicle barrier, the blood‑epididymis barrier, the blood‑testis barrier, the tight junction barrier regularly in addition to obstacles within the lady reproductive tract. incorporated also are chapters that target issues which are physiologically appropriate to all blood‑tissue limitations. lots of those chapters additionally comprise details on particular human ailments, corresponding to pathological adjustments of the intestine barrier that reason bowel problems as a result of irritation of the epithelial lining within the gut, and infertility in males because of disruption of the blood‑epididymal and/or blood‑testis limitations; and on new healing methods (e.g., drug supply around the blood‑brain and the blood‑retinal barriers).
