Most-cited papers in Tissue Barriers

Intestinal barrier and gut microbiota: Shaping our immune responses throughout life

Tatiana Takiishi, Camila Morales, Niels Olsen Saraiva Câmara · 6 Sep 2017

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is considered the largest immunological organ in the body having a central role in regulating immune homeostasis. Contrary to earlier belief, the intestinal epithelial barrier is not a static physical barrier but rather strongly interacts with the gut microbiome and cells of the immune system. This intense communication between epithelial cells,…

Roles and regulation of the mucus barrier in the gut

Steve Cornick, Adelaide Tawiah, Kris Chadee · 15 Jan 2015

The gastrointestinal tract is coated by a thick layer of mucus that forms the front line of innate host defense. Mucus consists of high molecular weight glycoproteins called mucins that are synthesized and secreted by goblet cells and functions primarily to lubricate the epithelium and protect it from damage by noxious substances. Recent studies have…

Zonulin, a regulator of epithelial and endothelial barrier functions, and its involvement in chronic inflammatory diseases

Craig Sturgeon, Alessio Fasano · 1 Oct 2016

Beside digesting nutrients and absorbing solutes and electrolytes, the intestinal epithelium with its barrier function is in charge of a tightly controlled antigen trafficking from the intestinal lumen to the submucosa. This trafficking dictates the delicate balance between tolerance and immune response causing inflammation. Loss of barrier function secondary to upregulation of zonulin, the only…

Junctional proteins of the blood-brain barrier: New insights into function and dysfunction

Svetlana M. Stamatovic, Allison Johnson, Richard F. Keep et al. · 2 Jan 2016

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly complex and dynamic barrier. It is formed by an interdependent network of brain capillary endothelial cells, endowed with barrier properties, and perivascular cells (astrocytes and pericytes) responsible for inducing and maintaining those properties. One of the primary properties of the BBB is a strict regulation of paracellular permeability…

Barrier function of airway tract epithelium

Shyamala Ganesan, Adam T. Comstock, Uma S. Sajjan · 30 May 2013

Airway epithelium contributes significantly to the barrier function of airway tract. Mucociliary escalator, intercellular apical junctional complexes which regulate paracellular permeability and antimicrobial peptides secreted by the airway epithelial cells are the three primary components of barrier function of airway tract. These three components act cooperatively to clear inhaled pathogens, allergens and particulate matter without…

Tissue Barriers template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Tissue Barriers format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Tissue Barriers template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Tissue Barriers use?
Tissue Barriers uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Tissue Barriers 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Tissue Barriers?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Tissue Barriers document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Tissue Barriers template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Tissue Barriers format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Tissue Barriers?
Tissue Barriers is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Tissue Barriers template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Tissue Barriers PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Tissue Barriers template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Tissue Barriers template cost?
You can start writing in the Tissue Barriers template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Tissue Barriers PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
