Preclinical mouse model to monitor live Muc5b-producing conjunctival goblet cell density under pharmacological treatments. [PDF]
PURPOSE:Modification of mucous cell density and gel-forming mucin production are established hallmarks of mucosal diseases. Our aim was to develop and validate a mouse model to study live goblet cell density in pathological situations and under ...

Zebrafish Agr2 is required for terminal differentiation of intestinal goblet cells.
BackgroundMammalian Anterior Gradient 2 (AGR2) is a protein disulfide isomerase that is required for the production of intestinal mucus and Paneth and goblet cell homeostasis. However, whether increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs in Agr2(-/-
