Mucus-Inspired Dynamic Hydrogels: Synthesis and Future Perspectives

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2022
Mucus hydrogels at biointerfaces are crucial for protecting against foreign pathogens and for the biological functions of the underlying cells. Since mucus can bind to and host both viruses and bacteria, establishing a synthetic model system that can ...

Gut microbiota facilitates dietary heme-induced epithelial hyperproliferation by opening the mucus barrier in colon [PDF]

, 2015
Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia.

Development and Functional Properties of Intestinal Mucus Layer in Poultry

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Intestinal mucus plays important roles in protecting the epithelial surfaces against pathogens, supporting the colonization with commensal bacteria, maintaining an appropriate environment for digestion, as well as facilitating nutrient transport from the

Association of allergen signatures with individualized allergic phenotypes

Allergology International
Background: Allergen sensitization patterns are heterogeneous, and their clinical relevance is often obscured by extensive cross-reactivity. We applied non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to disentangle overlapping immunoglobulin E (IgE) signals and ...

Helicobacter suis infection alters glycosylation and decreases the pathogen growth inhibiting effect and binding avidity of gastric mucins [PDF]

, 2019
Helicobacter suis is the most prevalent non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter species in the human stomach and is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. H. suis colonizes the

Spatiotemporal regulation by downstream genes of Prok2 in the olfactory system: from development to function

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
IntroductionOlfaction is important for the quality of life; however, in Kallmann syndrome (KS), defective development results in olfactory dysfunction.

Mouth breathing, dry air, and low water permeation promote inflammation, and activate neural pathways, by osmotic stresses acting on airway lining mucus

QRB Discovery, 2023
Respiratory disease and breathing abnormalities worsen with dehydration of the upper airways. We find that humidification of inhaled air occurs by evaporation of water over mucus lining the upper airways in such a way as to deliver an osmotic force on ...
