Goblet cells need some stress

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022
The intestinal tract is protected by epithelium-covering mucus, which is constantly renewed by goblet cells, a specialized type of epithelial cell. Mucus is largely composed of MUC2 mucin, an enormous molecule that poses a high demand on the endoplasmic ...

Self‐Propelled HPB@Lip@AB Nanomotors Ameliorate Dry Eye Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐propelled HPB@Lip@AB nanomotor system is developed for dry eye disease (DED) therapy, facilitating rapid penetration across ocular surface barriers while integrating hydrogen therapy with multi‐enzyme‐like antioxidant activity. The nanoplatform restores mitochondrial function, suppresses oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, and ...

Beyond Probiotics: Postbiotics for Healthy Aquaculture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This critical review assesses limitations of probiotics and proposes postbiotics, preparations of inanimate microorganisms and their metabolites, as a more stable, controlled, and biosafe formulation. Postbiotics offer significant advantages during industrial aquafeed production and storage. However, their practical implementation is currently hindered

Context-Dependent Regulation of Conjunctival Goblet Cell Function by Allergic Mediators

Scientific Reports, 2018
In the eye, goblet cells responsible for secreting mucins are found in the conjunctiva. When mucin production is not tightly regulated several ocular surface disorders may occur.

Effects of Epithelial IL-13Rα2 Expression in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Background: Mucosal IL-13 Receptor alpha 2 (IL13RA2) mRNA expression is one of the best predictive markers for primary non-responsiveness to infliximab therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Endowing Flexibility of Alveolar Type II Cells to Recapitulate Development From Lung Bud to Alveoli

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Adult human alveolar type 2 cells are chemically reprogrammed into expandable alveolar progenitor‐like cells that acquire bud tip‐like features during expansion and form organoids that mature into alveolar‐like structures. These organoids model influenza A virus infection and innate immune responses in vitro, while transplanted cells engraft ...

Aberrant DNA methylation and expression of SPDEF and FOXA2 in airway epithelium of patients with COPD

Clinical Epigenetics, 2017
Background Goblet cell metaplasia, a common feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is associated with mucus hypersecretion which contributes to the morbidity and mortality among patients.

NS1‐Induced PARP1 Phase Transitions Prolongs Host Transcriptional Pausing to Promote Influenza A Virus Replication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
After IAV infection, NS1 induces PARP1 phase transition, reducing molecular mobility in condensates, prolonging host transcriptional pause, aiding RdRp cap snatching, and promoting viral transcription. ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV) commandeers host transcriptional machinery to replicate, but mechanisms remain elusive.

A ROS‐Responsive and Mucoadhesive Thermosensitive Hydrogel Encapsulated with Mizoribine for Synergistic Dry Eye Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ROS‐responsive in situ thermosensitive MZR@SPPP hydrogel system enables dual‐stage drug loading and sustained ocular delivery. Upon administration, it gelates at ocular surface temperature, enhancing ocular adhesion. By scavenging free radicals, restoring NRF2‐mediated antioxidant defense and mitochondrial homeostasis, and suppressing inflammatory ...
