Join coauthors Mark Rochman and Marc E. Rothenberg as they explore their recently published paper, "Amniotic Fluid Modifies Esophageal Epithelium Differentiation and Inflammatory Responses." In this engaging episode, they discuss how the interaction between amniotic fluid and the esophageal epithelium during pregnancy impacts epithelial differentiation and influences the tissue's response to inflammatory stimuli, particularly interleukin 13 (IL-13). Discover the potential implications of these findings, including how they may predispose individuals to inflammatory conditions like eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) later in life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in developmental biology, immunology, and the long-term effects of prenatal exposures on health. Amniotic fluid modifies esophageal epithelium differentiation and inflammatory responses Mark Rochman, Andrea M. Klinger, Julie M. Caldwell, Yoel Sadovsky, and Marc E.
