Goblet cells populate wet-surfaced mucosa including the conjunctiva of the eye, intestine, and nose, among others. These cells function as part of the innate immune system by secreting high ...

Cantero-Recasens G, Butnaru C, Brouwers N, Mitrovic S, Valverde M, Malhotra V. Sodium channel TRPM4 and sodium/calcium exchangers (NCX) cooperate in the control of Ca2+-induced mucin secretion from ...

In a recent study, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have provided new insights into the central role of goblet cells—specialized cells that line the gut—in maintaining a ...

Goblet cells secrete mucin as a primary function to create a protective mucus layer which protects the epithelium from the luminal contents. Goblet cells are also involved in immunoregulation, ...

By altering the proteins that control these signals we are able to either increase or decrease the production of goblet cells which offers potential new avenues for therapeutically targeting ...

In a new study, scientists from the University of California, San Diego have shed light on the crucial function goblet cells—specialized gut-lining cells—play in preserving a balanced and healthy ...

Conjunctival goblet cells secrete gel-forming mucins which capture and clear allergens, pathogens, and debris from the eye. Researchers from Japan have now revealed that the protective function of ...

In a recent study, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have provided new insights into the central role of goblet cells-;specialized cells that line the gut-;in maintaining a ...

An intercrypt subpopulation of goblet cells is essential for colonic mucus barrier function. Science , 2021; 372 (6539): eabb1590 DOI: 10.1126/science.abb1590 Cite This Page : ...

Generation of conjunctivae in a dish Functional conjunctival tissue in a dish Date: February 2, 2021 Source: Osaka University Summary: Researchers generated functional conjunctival tissue in a dish.

Goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems govern mucus secretion. The mucociliary escalator is responsible for the ...
