Intestinal barrier repair
Intestinal barrier repair refers to the physiological process and therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring the integrity and function of the intestinal mucosal barrier. This critical barrier prevents the translocation of harmful substances (e.g., toxins, pathogens) from the gut lumen into the systemic circulation, while allowing nutrient absorption. Dysfunction, often termed 'leaky gut,' is associated with various inflammatory, autoimmune, and metabolic diseases. Repair involves addressing underlying causes, modulating the microbiome, and supporting epithelial cell regeneration and tight junction integrity.
