Esophageal surface cells in Non-erosive Reflux Disease (NERD): Scanning electron microscopic study

Dilated intercellular spaces (DIS) in prickle cell layers are considered as early signs of acid damage to the esophageal epithelium. In order to enter the mucosal intercellular spaces, acid and pepsin have to penetrate the intercellular adhesion sites of the most superficial epithelial cells. The ai...
