A Geometrically Transient Platform for Bioelectronic Implants

Advanced 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

Frontiers 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.

Perovskite Nanoparticles Toxicity Study on Airway Epithelial Cells

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2019
Research on the toxicity of nanoparticles has developed over recent years due to their increasing prevalence in common everyday materials. Various nanoparticles have been reported to promote and induce mucus secretion, which could potentially lead to ...

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 ...

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

Advanced 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.

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

Advanced 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.

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 ...

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

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.

Amuc_1473 Links Gut Microbes to Skeletal Homeostasis and Counteracts Multifactorial Osteoporosis

Advanced 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.
