Leaky Gut As a Danger Signal for Autoimmune Diseases

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that modulating the gut microbiota can serve as a potential method for regulating intestinal permeability and may help to alter the course of autoimmune diseases in susceptible individuals.

Susceptibility to gut leakiness: a possible mechanism for endotoxaemia in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

TL;DR: This work investigated one possible mechanism for the endotoxaemia – disruption of intestinal barrier integrity – and found it to be related to hepatic oxidative stress triggered by elevated levels of endotoxin.

Paracellular ion channel at the tight junction.

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that discrete ion channels are present at the tight junction, and a new class of paracellular-tight junction channels (PTJC) facilitates the transport of ions between separate extracellular compartments.
