Mucus and the Goblet Cell [PDF]
Digestive Diseases, 2013 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]
The Scientific World Journal, 2013 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.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide regulates ileal goblet cell production in mice
Physiological Reports, 2020 Innervation of the intestinal mucosa has gained more attention with demonstrations of tuft and enteroendocrine cell innervation. However, the role(s) these fibers play in maintaining the epithelial and mucus barriers are still poorly understood.

Clinical and morphological analysis of dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus and columnar-lined esophagus
Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2020 Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a precan-cerous disease of the esophagus. The risk of adenocarcinoma in BE patients increases with the extension of segment length and with the presence of dysplasia.

Immunomodulatory cross-talk between conjunctival goblet cells and dendritic cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Goblet cells are secretory epithelial cells of mucosal tissues that confer protection from environmental agents or pathogens via expression and secretion of soluble mucins.

Intestinal macromolecular transport supporting adaptive immunity [PDF]
, 2019 The gastrointestinal tract performs opposing functions of nutrient absorption, barrier maintenance, and the delivery of luminal substances for the appropriate induction of tolerogenic or protective adaptive immunity.

Sox2 is required for maintenance and differentiation of bronchiolar Clara, ciliated, and goblet cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The bronchioles of the murine lung are lined by a simple columnar epithelium composed of ciliated, Clara, and goblet cells that together mediate barrier function, mucociliary clearance and innate host defense, vital for pulmonary homeostasis.

Matrix metalloproteinase 13 modulates intestinal epithelial barrier integrity in inflammatory diseases by activating TNF [PDF]
, 2013 Several pathological processes, such as sepsis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are associated with impairment of intestinal epithelial barrier. Here, we investigated the role of matrix metalloproteinase MMP13 in these diseases.

Goblet Cell Carcinoma of the Appendix: A Case Report on Goblet Cell Carcinoid
HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine, 2020 Description Goblet cell carcinoid of the appendix is a rare neoplasm with histological features of both neuroendocrine and adenocarcinomas. The combination of its aggressive behavior, infrequent occurrence, and variable clinical presentation convolutes the management of this tumor.
