New Ischemia Study Findings Reported from Maastricht University Medical Center.

New investigation results, "Rapid lamina propria retraction and zipper-like constriction of the epithelium preserves the epithelial lining in human small intestine exposed to ischaemia-reperfusion," are detailed in a study published in The Journal of Pathology. According to the authors of recent research from Maastricht, Netherlands, "To ensure a sufficient barrier between a host and noxious luminal content, the intestinal epithelium must be equipped with efficient mechanisms to limit damage to the epithelial lining. Using a human model, we were able to investigate these mechanisms in the human gut exposed to ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) over the time course of 150 min."

"In 10 …
