Nature Communications, 2023 This study offers molecular insight into the sialidase and fucosidase decapping apparatus that initiates growth on mucin and promotes nutrient sharing by the dedicated mucolytic symbiont Akkermansia muciniphila with the mucus-associated microbiota.

Annals of Dermatology, 2018 Mucinous nevus is an uncommon entity classified as either a cutaneous mucinosis or a connective tissue nevus. The condition presents as grouped papules and coalescent plaques growing in a unilateral or zosteriform manner. The key histopathological feature is a band-like deposition of mucin in the superficial dermis.

Nature Microbiology, 2023 Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucophilic member of the gut microbiota, protects its host against metabolic disorders. Because it is genetically intractable, the mechanisms underlying mucin metabolism, gut colonization and its impact on host physiology are ...

A Preliminary Study Examining the Binding Capacity of Akkermansia muciniphila and Desulfovibrio spp., to Colonic Mucin in Health and Ulcerative Colitis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Akkermansia muciniphila and Desulfovibrio spp. are commensal microbes colonising the mucus gel layer of the colon. Both species have the capacity to utilise colonic mucin as a substrate. A.

Up-regulation of MUC2 and IL-1β expression in human colonic epithelial cells by Shigella and its interaction with mucins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundThe entire gastrointestinal tract is protected by a mucous layer, which contains complex glycoproteins called mucins. MUC2 is one such mucin that protects the colonic mucosa from invading microbes.

Breakdown of mucin as barrier to digestive enzymes in the ischemic rat small intestine. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Loss of integrity of the epithelial/mucosal barrier in the small intestine has been associated with different pathologies that originate and/or develop in the gastrointestinal tract.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Mucins are important glycoproteins that form a protective layer throughout the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. There is scientific evidence of increase in phage-resistance in the presence of mucin for some bacterial pathogens.
