Heterogeneity and persistence length in human ocular mucins [PDF]

, 2002
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to investigate the heterogeneity and flexibility of human ocular mucins and their subunits. We have paid particular attention, in terms of theory and experiment, to the problem of inducing the polymers to ...

Pellicle Modification with Casein and Mucin Does Not Promote In Vitro Bacterial Biofilm Formation. [PDF]

, 2020
PURPOSE During biofilm formation, bacterial species do not attach directly onto the enamel surface, but rather onto the salivary pellicle. Salivary pellicle modification with casein and mucin can hinder erosive demineralisation of the enamel, but it ...

Nutritional Studies on Mucin (Part 1)

Eiyo To Shokuryo, 1967
ムチンのラット成長に及ぼす影響について検討し次の如き結果を得た。1) Mucin-1を5%添加したラット群ではcontrolに対し23.5%, SM 5%添加群に対し17.2%大きい体重増加がみられ, Food efficiencyも高められた。一方粘度の低いMucin-2を添加したM-2群には体重増加作用は見られなかった。2) トレッドミルによる運動能力測定ではムチン添加群がcontrolよりも1.5～1.7倍大きな走行距離を示した。3) 臓器重量においては何ら顕著な差異は認められなかった。4) Mucin-1添加群において, 若干の血清蛋白量の増加傾向が見られたが, その他には顕著な変動は見られなかった。

Serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 before treatment predicts the prognosis of lung cancer in Asian populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundUp until now, no clear consensus has been reached on the role of serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) levels in predicting survival in patients with lung cancer. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the prognostic value of serum KL-6 levels before

Mucin-degrading gut commensals isolated from healthy faecal donor suppress intestinal epithelial inflammation and regulate tight junction barrier function

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The intestinal epithelium surface is covered by a layer of mucus that harbors a complex and dynamic population of bacteria termed gut microbiota. In particular, some gut bacteria have the ability to degrade the mucin glycan for nutritional sources ...
