The protective role of conjunctival goblet cell mucin sialylation
Nature Communications, 2023 Conjunctival goblet cells secrete mucins that are heavily glycosylated. Here, the authors show that sialylation of mucins is essential for capturing and encapsulates allergen particles and thus reduces the risk for developing allergic conjunctivitis.

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

A detection and quantification label-free tool to speed up downstream processing of model mucins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Mucins are high-molecular weight glycoproteins (0.25-20 MDa) containing one or more domains that are heavily O-glycosylated. Their implications as targets for cancer treatment have increased the interest in these glycoproteins, mainly in the fields of ...

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2019 Background: Mucins are glycoproteins that act as a selective molecular barrier and its alterations usually accompany the carcinogenesis. Aim: To evaluate the transition of mucins in the grades of oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) and oral squamous cell ...
