Intestinal permeability in coeliac disease: insight into mechanisms and relevance to pathogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Coeliac disease is a gut disease driven by an abnormal immune response towards dietary gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Whether and, if so, how abnormal transport of gluten across the gut epithelium may participate in the pathogenesis of coeliac disease remains debatable.
