Minor salivary glands in oral mucosa of two dogs: A pilot study [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2021 Presence of minor salivary glands in the oral mucosa and its potential use as an autograft for treating dry eye disease has been widely reported in humans. But there is a paucity of literature regarding the histological evidence for the presence of minor

Autoantibodies against the Second Extracellular Loop of M3R Do neither Induce nor Indicate Primary Sjögren's Syndrome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 OBJECTIVES:Anti-muscarinic acetylcholine type-3 receptor (anti-M3R) autoantibodies have been suggested to be pathogenic for primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and the second extracellular loop of M3R is suspected to carry a disease-promoting epitope.

Chronic GLP-1 receptor activation by exendin-4 induces expansion of pancreatic duct glands in rats and accelerates formation of dysplastic lesions and chronic pancreatitis in the Kras(G12D) mouse model. [PDF]
, 2012 Pancreatic duct glands (PDGs) have been hypothesized to give rise to pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Treatment with the glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 analog, exendin-4, for 12 weeks induced the expansion of PDGs with mucinous metaplasia and

TRPC1 regulates calcium-activated chloride channels in salivary gland cells [PDF]
, 2015 Calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) plays an important role in modulating epithelial secretion. It has been suggested that in salivary tissues, sustained fluid secretion is dependent on Ca2+ influx that activates ion channels such as CaCC to ...

Beneficial effects of physical exercise on the exocrine pancreas
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2015 The pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ critically important for intestinal digestion. Most of the pancreas consists of exocrine glands that synthesize and secrete a great majority of digestive enzymes into the pancreatic duct tributaries and on into the

A single transcription factor is sufficient to induce and maintain secretory cell architecture [PDF]
, 2017 We hypothesized that basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) MIST1 (BHLHA15) is a “scaling factor” that universally establishes secretory morphology in cells that perform regulated secretion.
