Epithelial tissue creates protective boundaries and is involved in the diffusion of ions and molecules. Lynne Bailey also champions the group. She said: "As carers, we suffer physically, mentally-it's exhausting. To go somewhere where someone makes you a cup of tea and lets you just sit there, is invaluable. Being with people who wholly understand is so important for our mental health.Hozic, A., Rico, F., Colom, A., Buzhynskyy, N. & Scheuring, S.
