Background & Aims: Cell differentiation in the colonic crypt is driven by a metabolic switch from glycolysis to mitochondrial oxidation. Mitochondrial and goblet cell dysfunction have been attributed to the pathology of ulcerative colitis (UC).

Disease-specific transcriptional programs govern airway goblet cell metaplasia
Hypersecretion of airway mucus caused by goblet cell metaplasia is a characteristic of chronic pulmonary inflammatory diseases including asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Morphology of Intestinal Goblet Cells of The Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius)
Morphology of the goblet cells in the intestine of the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius ) was carried out by light and electron microscopes. Histologically, the goblet cells appeared as globular or ovoidshaped with basally located flat nuclei.

Epithelial GPR35 protects from Citrobacter rodentium infection by preserving goblet cells and mucosal barrier integrity [PDF]
Goblet cells secrete mucin to create a protective mucus layer against invasive bacterial infection and are therefore essential for maintaining intestinal health.

Epidermal Growth Factor Removal or Tyrphostin AG1478 Treatment Reduces Goblet Cells & Mucus Secretion of Epithelial Cells from Asthmatic Children Using the Air-Liquid Interface Model. [PDF]
Epithelial remodelling in asthma is characterised by goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus hypersecretion for which no therapies exist. Differentiated bronchial air-liquid interface cultures from asthmatic children display high goblet cell numbers. Epidermal

Is the Intestinal Goblet Cell a Major Immune Cell? [PDF]
Recent reports indicate that both the inflammasome (Wlodarska et al., 2014) and autophagy (Patel et al., 2013) pathways in goblet cells control mucin secretion, defects in which are linked to difficulties in clearing pathogenic bacteria and maintaining intestinal homeostasis and control colitis.

Staphylococcus aureus activates the NLRP3 inflammasome in human and rat conjunctival goblet cells.
The conjunctiva is a moist mucosal membrane that is constantly exposed to an array of potential pathogens and triggers of inflammation. The NACHT, leucine rich repeat (LRR), and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) is a Nod-like receptor that can ...
