American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1991
Abstract Mucins produced by goblet cells of the respiratory mucosa are condensed while stored in secretory granules. Mucin condensation and its decondensation upon exocytosis can be explained by the theory of polymer gel phase transition. After the opening of a secretory pore, Ca2+ inside the granule is exchanged for extracellular Na+.

Stain Technology, 1982
Yamamota and Oshima in 1932 extracted a crystalline anthocyanin coloring material from the flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa which they called hibiscin. In 1976 El-Aaser and Gowali successfully used hibiscin as a stain for DNA on frozen sections. This paper reports on the staining capacity of this dye for epithelial mucin in paraffin sections.

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2010
A variety of mucoactive medications are used to treat chronic lung disease. When evaluating the role of the cough, it must be considered as an important protective mechanism. Therefore, it may be more important to improve the effectiveness of cough than to suppress or eliminate a chronic cough in patients with chronic lung disease.

Der Ophthalmologe, 1999
The present knowledge about ocular mucins is presented.Mucins are glycoproteins of high polymer structure. Following the classification of the Human Gene Mapping Committee, they are subdivided in MUC1-9. They are an important component of the tear film and are found in conjunctival and corneal ocular surface epithelia.

Mucins and Immune Reactions to Mucins in Ulcerative Colitis
Digestion, 2001Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease of undetermined etiology. Mucins, mainly produced by goblet cells, protect colon cells from various kinds of stress. Alteration in the quality or quantity of mucins may be the cause of the disease. Another possible cause is immune reactions to colonic cells.

Mucins and mucin binding proteins in colorectal cancer
Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2004Mucins are high-molecular weight epithelial glycoproteins with a high content of clustered oligosaccharides O-glycosidically linked to tandem repeat peptides rich in threonine, serine, and proline. There are two structurally and functionally distinct classes of mucins: secreted gel-forming mucins (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6) and transmembrane mucins

Mucosal surfaces are exposed to the external environment and pathogens and are therefore protected by a secreted layer of mucus rich in mucin glycoproteins, which are the main components of mucus. Mucus provides physical protection and hydration, excludes pathogens, and is a reservoir for antimicrobial molecules.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides Increase Mucin Expression in Experimental Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2018SCOPE Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of morbidity and death in preterm infants, occurring more often in formula-fed than breastfed infants.
