Zonulin transgenic mice show altered gut permeability and increased morbidity/mortality in the DSS colitis model

Increased small intestinal permeability (IP) has been proposed to be an integral element, along with genetic makeup and environmental triggers, in the pathogenies of chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs). We identified zonulin as a master regular of intercellular tight junctions linked to the develop...
