The role of goblet cells in Crohn’ s disease [PDF]
The prevalence of Crohn’s disease (CD), a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is increasing worldwide. The pathogenesis of CD is hypothesized to be related to environmental, genetic, immunological, and bacterial factors.

Goblet cells need some stress [PDF]
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 ...

Inhibition of microRNA-328 Increases Ocular Mucin Expression and Conjunctival Goblet Cells [PDF]
We previously reported anti-miR-328 therapy for dry eye disease (DED). Since decreased mucin secretion is a risk factor for DED, we aimed to explore whether anti-miR-328 affects mucin expression and goblet cells.

DR5 Governs Compound Exocytosis in Colonic Goblet Cells via TATA‐Box Binding Protein‐Dependent Bestrophin‐2 Transcriptional Regulation [PDF]
The colonic mucus barrier, dependent on goblet cell‐secreted mucin2 (Muc2), prevents microbial invasion. Compound exocytosis enables the rapid, high‐volume release of mucus from goblet cells; its underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear.

Detecting Intestinal Goblet Cells of the Broadgilled Hagfish Eptatretus cirrhatus (Forster, 1801): A Confocal Microscopy Evaluation [PDF]
The fish intestine operates as a complicated interface between the organism and the environment, providing biological and mechanical protections as a result of a viscous layer of mucus released by goblet cells, which serves as a barrier against bacteria,

ERdj5 protects goblet cells from endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis under inflammatory conditions [PDF]
Inflammatory bowel disease: A protective enzyme in intestinal goblet cells Studies of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in mice reveal the role of an enzyme that assists the degradation of mis-folded proteins in the ‘goblet’ cells involved in producing ...

Epigenetic modifier balances Mapk and Wnt signalling in differentiation of goblet and Paneth cells
The histone methyltransferase Mll1 controls intestinal secretory cell fate by promoting Wnt-driven Paneth and restricting Mapk-dependent goblet cell differentiation through regulation of Gata4/6 transcription factors Differentiation and lineage ...

Mucus and the Goblet Cell [PDF]
The discovery of an inner mucus layer normally impervious to bacteria has changed our way of understanding the interaction between commensal bacteria and the host epithelial cells. This inner colon mucus layer is rapidly renewed and converted into the outer mucus layer by host controlled endogenous proteolytic processing.

Goblet Cell Carcinoids of the Appendix [PDF]
Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) tumors are a rare subgroup of neuroendocrine tumors almost exclusively originating in the appendix. The tumor most often presents in the fifth or sixth decade with a clinical picture of appendicitis or in advanced cases an abdominal mass associated with abdominal pain.
