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

Relationship between GnRH-induced LH increase profiles in the serum and vaginal mucus of Japanese Black beef cows [PDF]
Archives Animal Breeding, 2022 This study aimed to investigate the relationship between increases in the luteinizing hormone (LH) profiles in the serum and vaginal mucus of cows induced by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Samples for LH determination were collected from Japanese

VAMP8 mucin exocytosis attenuates intestinal pathogenesis by Entamoeba histolytica
Microbial Cell, 2017 The intestinal mucosa encounters a barrage of ingested insults within the host yet under homeostasis elegantly facilitates nutrient absorption and sustenance of the commensal microbiota. An essential defence mechanism employed by the host is limiting the

Colonic mucus structure and processing [PDF]
, 2018 The mucus layer covering the colonic epithelium creates a crucial first line of defense against the gut residing bacteria. Several lines of evidence suggest that a functional mucus layer is essential for health. For example, it is.

A crucial role of Flagellin in the induction of airway mucus production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen involved in nosocomial infections. Flagellin is a P. aeruginosa virulence factor involved in host response to this pathogen. We examined the role of flagellin in P.
