Implication of Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction in Gut Dysbiosis and Diseases

Carmine Stolfi et al.

Summary: The intestinal mucosal barrier, known as intestinal barrier, plays a critical role in maintaining gut homeostasis by regulating the interaction between gut microbes and the host immune system. Genetic defects and environmental factors can disrupt this balance, leading to gut dysbiosis, inflammatory responses, and chronic pathological conditions. This review discusses the molecular and cellular pathways involved in maintaining the structural and functional homeostasis of the intestinal barrier, with a focus on potential alterations that may disrupt this delicate balance.
