The biochemical and molecular characterisation of respiratory mucins in TB
, 2006 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 96-112).The role of the dominant respiratory mucins (MUC5AC and MUC5B) and MUC2 has been investigated in chronic airway diseases as it is the mucin glycoprotein that confers upon mucus its biological ...

Gut Microbes ReportsIn vitro models for host–microbe interaction often have limited physiological relevance due to the absence of a protective mucus layer, reliance on non-viable bacteria, and short co-culture durations. Here, we present the first scalable and biocompatible

EBioMedicine, 2018 Many epithelial surfaces of the body are covered with protective mucus, and disrupted mucus homeostasis is coupled to diseases such as ulcerative colitis, helminth infection, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive lung disease. However, little is known

Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.

Coupled secretion of chloride and mucus in skin of Xenopus laevis: possible role for CFTR
, 1994 We used the isolated skin of Xenopus laevis to investigate the relationship between the secretion of salt, water, and mucus by submucosal glands expressing the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

Mucus glycoprotein secretion by tracheal explants: effects of pollutants. [PDF]
, 1980 Tracheal slices incubated with radioactive precursors in tissue culture medium secrete labeled mucus glycoproteins into the culture medium. We have used an in vivtro approach, a combined method utilizing exposure to pneumotoxins in vivo coupled with ...

Innervation of the tubarial glands: A hypothesis‐driven anatomical review
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The tubarial glands have been described as a macroscopic bilateral glandular complex in the posterolateral nasopharynx near the torus tubarius and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. Since their recognition on prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐based imaging, their anatomical classification has remained debated, with converging ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...
