Some Characteristics of Para-Mucus Secretion.
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 ...

Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...

Neural control of airway mucus secretion
Neural mechanisms contribute to the control of secretion of mucus in the airways of a number of animal species including humans. The nerves involved are adrenergic, cholinergic and non-adrenergic, non cholinergic (NANC) and contribute to greater or lesser degrees, depending upon the species, to secretion from submucosal glands and epithelial goblet ...

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

TMEM16A is indispensable for basal mucus secretion in airways and intestine
Transmembrane member 16A (TMEM16A) is the Ca2+-activated chloride channel in airways and intestine. It has been associated with goblet cell metaplasia, as expression of TMEM16A is strongly up-regulated in cystic fibrosis and asthma during mucus ...

Mucus and mucins during gastrointestinal infections [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract is protected by a continuously secreted mucus layer formed by mucin glycoproteins. The mucus layer and mucins change dynamically during infection.

An edible biohybrid platform triggers nanoplastics (NPs) aging and agglomeration by in situ generating hydroxyl radicals within the intestine. The enlarged NPs are unable to penetrate the intestine and are subsequently excreted. Simultaneously, probiotic biofilms reinforce the intestinal barrier.

This study uncovers that quercetin naturally targets mitochondria. By coordinating quercetin with Fe3+, we engineer an ultrasmall cascade nanozyme (MCN) with superoxide dismutase‐catalase activities. MCN crosses the damaged blood–brain barrier, scavenges mitochondrial ROS, prevents mitochondrial DNA leakage, and blocks the cGAS‐STING pathway, thereby ...
