Tissue Barriers in Disease, Injury and Regeneration focuses on the molecular and cellular fundamentals of homeostatic and defense responses of tissue barriers, covering the damaging impacts and exposure to pathogens and engineered nanomaterials. Sections emphasize the role of mesenchymal stoma, vascular, epithelial, telocyte, myofibroblast, lymphoid and reticuloendothelial cells, along with reactions that bridge the effects of ambient factors, medical treatments, drag delivery systems with alterations in barrier integrity, tissue/organ functions, and metabolic status. Other sections cover the role of progenitor cells of different origins in the remodeling and regeneration of tissue stroma, vasculature of blood-tissue barriers, and more.

1. Molecular and cellular fundamentals of homeostatic and defense responses of tissue barriers to damaging impacts and exposure to pathogens and engineered nano-materials 2. Role of mesenchymal stoma, vascular, epithelial, telocyte, myofibroblast, lymphoid, and reticuloendothelial cells in development of reactions that bridge effects of ambient factors, medical treatments, drag delivery systems with alterations in barrier integrity, tissue/organ functions and in metabolic status 3. Progenitor cells of different origins in remodeling and regeneration of tissue stroma 4. Vasculature of blood-tissue barriers, mucosa and external epithelium will be also addressed and discussed
