2012 MAR 5 -- A new study, "Altered expression of tight junction molecules in alveolar septa in lung injury and fibrosis," is now available. "The dysfunction of alveolar barriers is a critical factor in the development of lung injury and subsequent fibrosis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. To clarify the pathogenic roles of tight junctions in lung injury and fibrosis, we examined the altered expression of claudins, the major components of tight junctions, in the lungs of disease models with pulmonary fibrosis," scientists writing in the American Journal of Physiology Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology report.
