Autophagy controls mucus secretion from intestinal goblet cells by alleviating ER stress

bioRxiv, 2022
Colonic goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells that secrete mucus to form a barrier between the host and its microbiota, thus preventing bacterial invasion and inflammation. How goblet cells control the amount of mucus they secrete is unclear.

Dissociation between Cervical Mucus and Urinary Hormones during the Postpartum Return of Fertility in Breastfeeding Women [PDF]

, 2018
Identifying the return of fertility with cervical mucus observations is challenging during the postpartum period. Use of urinary measurements of estrogen and progesterone can assist in understanding the return to fertility during this period.

Lactobacillus reuteri inhibition of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli adherence to human intestinal epithelium [PDF]

, 2016
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a major cause of diarrheal infant death in developing countries, and probiotic bacteria have been shown to provide health benefits in gastrointestinal infections.

Prebiotic oligofructose protects against high-fat diet-induced obesity by changing the gut microbiota, intestinal mucus production, glycosylation and secretion

Gut microbes, 2022
Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, and gut microbiota plays a key role in influencing the host energy homeostasis.

Tuning gastropod locomotion: Modeling the influence of mucus rheology on the cost of crawling [PDF]

, 2006
Common gastropods such as snails crawl on a solid substrate by propagating muscular waves of shear stress on a viscoelastic mucus. Producing the mucus accounts for the largest component in the gastropod's energy budget, more than twenty times the amount ...

Slimy partners: the mucus barrier and gut microbiome in ulcerative colitis

Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2021
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent intestinal inflammatory disease characterized by high incidence and young onset age. Recently, there have been some interesting findings in the pathogenesis of UC.

Lamellar Structures of MUC2-Rich Mucin: A Potential Role in Governing the Barrier and Lubricating Functions of Intestinal Mucus [PDF]

, 2012
Mucus is a ubiquitous feature of mammalian wet epithelial surfaces, where it lubricates and forms a selective barrier that excludes a range of particulates, including pathogens, while hosting a diverse commensal microflora.

Effect of native gastric mucus on in vivo hybridization therapies directed at Helicobacter pylori [PDF]

, 2015
Helicobacter pylori infects more than 50% of the worldwide population. It is mostly found deep in the gastric mucus lining of the stomach, being a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma. To face the increasing resistance of H.

Incorporating a mucosal environment in a dynamic gut model results in a more representative colonization by lactobacilli [PDF]

, 2011
To avoid detrimental interactions with intestinal microbes, the human epithelium is covered with a protective mucus layer that traps host defence molecules. Microbial properties such as adhesion to mucus further result in a unique mucosal microbiota with

Observations on the Surface Structure of Aurelia solida (Scyphozoa) Polyps and Medusae

Diversity, 2021
The surface structures and mucus layers that form an interface between the epithelial layer of organisms and their external environment were studied in the bloom-forming moon jellyfish (Aurelia solida, Scyphozoa) from the northern Adriatic.
