متن کاملChoosing sides in the battle against gastric acid.
The duodenum is the first segment of the small intestine, just distal to the gastric pylorus. This positions the epithelial lining of the duodenum directly in the path of destructive gastric acid leaving the stomach. Because pancreatic bicarbonate secretions only enter the gut lumen farther down the gastrointestinal tract, the early duodenum must defend itself, unaided, from this acidic stress....
متن کاملChoosing sides in polarized endothelial adaptation to shear stress.
The endothelium is a primary integrator of biophysical and chemical cues that guide vascular wall physiology and pathology. Normally, arterial endothelial cells appear elongated longitudinally and rest on a basement membrane of collagen type IV and laminin. In atherosclerosis, lesions form primarily near arterial bifurcations and along the inner curvature of the aorta where complex spatiotempor...
