Tissue Barriers in Disease, Injury and Regeneration delves into the molecular and cellular foundations of the body’s protective responses and maintenance of tissue barriers. It explores the detrimental effects caused by exposure to pathogens and engineered nanomaterials. The book highlights various cell types such as mesenchymal stoma, vascular, epithelial, telocyte, myofibroblast, lymphoid, and reticuloendothelial cells, and their roles in defending against external threats. Additionally, it examines the interplay between ambient factors, medical treatments, drug delivery systems, and changes in barrier integrity, tissue/organ functions, and metabolic status. The text also explores the contribution of progenitor cells from different sources in the remodeling and regeneration of tissue stroma and the vasculature of blood-tissue barriers, among other topics.
