Influence of in ovo inoculation of probiotic strains on the jejunal goblet cell counts and morphometry in peri- and post-hatching chicks [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017 The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of in ovo inoculation of different probiotic strains (Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium, and Pediococcus acidilactici) on jejunal goblet cells counts and morphometry in chicken ...

Lineage-specific expression of bestrophin-2 and bestrophin-4 in human intestinal epithelial cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) regulate the absorption and secretion of anions, such as HCO3(-) or Cl(-). Bestrophin genes represent a newly identified group of calcium-activated Cl(-) channels (CaCCs).

Goblet Cell Carcinoid of the Appendix.
Internal Medicine, 1994 A 47-year-old man was admitted with appendicitis, and appendectomy was performed. On microscopic examination of the resected specimen, the presence of goblet cell carcinoid in the tip of appendix was revealed. This tumor showed an aggressive nature with perineural and vascular invasion around the appendiceal serosa.

The infection of chicken tracheal epithelial cells with a H6N1 avian influenza virus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Sialic acids (SAs) linked to galactose (Gal) in α2,3- and α2,6-configurations are the receptors for avian and human influenza viruses, respectively. We demonstrate that chicken tracheal ciliated cells express α2,3-linked SA, while goblet cells mainly ...

Perforated Goblet Cell Carcinoid of the Appendix [PDF]
Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2020 Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) of the perforated appendix is rare, and its pathological features and prognosis remain poorly described. A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for right lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and high-grade fever. She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent emergency laparoscopic appendectomy.
