• The Microbiome and the Respiratory Tract (2015, background): “Whereas the linear distance from nares to alveolus is only half a meter, the internal surface area of the lungs is 30 times that of the skin (37) and is larger than current estimates of the surface area of the gastrointestinal tract (38).”
• The intestinal barrier: a fundamental role in health and disease (2017, background): “The gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbors one of the largest luminal interaction areas of these barriers, and plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the immune system, and hence in health [1,2].”
