Intestinal mucus components and secretion mechanisms: what we do and do not know
Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2023 Damage to the colon mucus barrier, the first line of defense against microorganisms, is an important determinant of intestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer, and disorder in extraintestinal organs.

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]
, 2020 Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

Chronic Inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis Causes Long-Term Changes in Goblet Cell FunctionSummary
Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2022 Background & Aims: One of the features of ulcerative colitis (UC) is a defect in the protective mucus layer. This has been attributed to a reduced number of goblet cells (GCs).

Strategies for measuring airway mucus and mucins
Respiratory Research, 2019 Mucus secretion and mucociliary transport are essential defense mechanisms of the airways. Deviations in mucus composition and secretion can impede mucociliary transport and elicit airway obstruction. As such, mucus abnormalities are hallmark features of

Disruption-induced mucus secretion: repair and protection. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 When a cell suffers a plasma membrane disruption, extracellular Ca(2+) rapidly diffuses into its cytosol, triggering there local homotypic and exocytotic membrane fusion events.
