Some Characteristics of Para-Mucus Secretion.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1960
It has been reported from this laboratory that the topical application of iodoacetamide (IAA) or N-ethyl maleimide (NEM) solutions to the mucosa of canine gastric pouches will evoke a flow of mucinous secretion for many hours (1). This material had never been recognized before, and because its physiological significance is still unknown, it was ...

Turning Unpredictable Biomolecule Adsorption to Controlled Corona Formation: Focus on Carbon Nanomaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling the protein corona formation onto carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) enhances their functionalities as platforms for cancer theranostics. Here, we reviewed the effects of the intrinsic and acquired properties of CNMs on protein corona formation, the consequent biological and toxicological outcomes, and the strategies to reshape corona formation ...

Modulator Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis: An Exploration of Current Research [PDF]

, 2020
Developing a drug therapy that addresses the root cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) by increasing CFTR protein levels has long been a research challenge. After genetic therapy failed because a suitable delivery system could not be found, researchers began ...

Proton Pump Inhibitors and Mucus Secretion [PDF]

Digestive 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 ...

Mechanostimulatory Cues Determine Intestinal Fibroblast Fate and Profibrotic Remodeling in a Physiodynamic Human Gut‐on‐a‐Chip

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A healthy gut barrier shields underlying fibroblasts from luminal shear forces, illustrating that “good fences make good neighbors.” Barrier damage exposes fibroblasts to shear stress, inducing cell death and the emergence of stress‐adapted, profibrotic fibroblasts. Sustained shear exposure promotes the formation of stiff aggregates of mechanoadapative

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

BMC 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.

Sex‐Specific Regulation of Glycemic Homeostasis by Theabrownin from Pu‐erh Tea

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pu‐erh tea's key component, theabrownin (TB), lowers blood glucose in a sex‐specific manner. In females, estrogen boosts intestinal MUC2 production, which dramatically enhances TB's ability to inhibit the carbohydrate‐digesting enzyme α‐glucosidase.

The digestion of yeast cell wall polysaccharides in veal calves [PDF]

, 1976
1. The digestibility of the cell wall polysaccharides of an alkane-grown yeast in different parts of the digestive tract of two veal calves fitted with re-entrant cannulas at the end of the ileum was studied by replacing part of the skim-milk powder of ...

A Keratinocyte‐Mast Cell NF‐κB2/CXCL2/IL‐6 Amplification Loop Enhances Cutaneous Antifungal Defense Against C. albicans

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mast cells (MCs), key innate immune sentinels at the host–environment interface, serve as primary responders to invading pathogens. However, their specific contribution to host defense against cutaneous Candida albicans (C. albicans) infection and their synergy with other immune and non‐immune cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that
