A Geometrically Transient Platform for Bioelectronic Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive bioelectronic implants often compromise performance for smaller sizes. To resolve this optimization dilemma, a wireless bioelectronic implant with a transient geometry is introduced (MiFi). The origami‐inspired device miniaturizes up to sixfold for syringe insertion and autonomously unfolds post‐implantation.

Airway mucus in infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
The mucosa of the airways is under a near-constant barrage of contaminants, allergens, and pathogens that can accumulate and cause irritation or infection if not promptly removed.

Collagen‐Based Gut‐on‐Chip for In Vitro Modeling of Intestinal Barrier Function and Host‐Pathogen Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A collagen‐based gut‐on‐chip model replicates the intestinal extracellular matrix, supporting villi‐like structures, tight junctions, and mucin production. This biomimetic platform enables rapid epithelial differentiation and functional barrier formation.

Proton Pump Inhibitors and Mucus Secretion [PDF]

open access: yesDigestive Diseases and Sciences, 2009
I have read with great interest the article by Sarosiek et al. [1] reporting a stimulatory effect of rabeprazole on esophageal mucin. The article describes a pharmacological property which may have a pivotal role in protecting the esophageal mucosa against gastro-esophageal reflux and which appears to be unique in comparison with other proton pump ...

PRMT1‐Mediated LDHA Methylation Drives STAT3 Lactylation to Orchestrate Intestinal Inflammation and Tumorigenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies an immunometabolic axis wherein SAM‐driven PRMT1 methylates LDHA, enhancing its activity. The resultant lactate induces STAT3 K709 lactylation, which stabilizes an active conformation to promote STAT3 phosphorylation and IL‐10 expression.

Influence of Phenylbutazone on Gastric Secretion of Mucus.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1967
SummaryThis study was undertaken in an attempt to clarify the mechanism by which the therapeutic use of phenylbutazone sometimes causes gastric mucosal injury in the form of hemorrhage, erosions or frank ulcerations. Mucoid secretions from gastricantral pouches of dogs were studied before, during and after the oral administration of phenylbutazone in ...

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

Genes associated with MUC5AC expression in small airway epithelium of human smokers and non-smokers

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2012
Background Mucus hypersecretion contributes to the morbidity and mortality of smoking-related lung diseases, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which starts in the small airways.

Amuc_1473 Links Gut Microbes to Skeletal Homeostasis and Counteracts Multifactorial Osteoporosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Amuc_1473, a previously uncharacterized protein enriched in Akkermansia muciniphila‐derived extracellular vesicles, is identified as a gut–bone messenger that promotes osteogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis by engaging transcriptional and translational regulators in bone cells.
