Journal ArticleDOI

The mucus and mucins of the goblet cells and enterocytes provide the first defense line of the gastrointestinal tract and interact with the immune system

TL;DR: The mucus and epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract are the primary gate keepers and controllers of bacterial interactions with the host immune system, but the understanding of this relationship is still in its infancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Composition and functional role of the mucus layers in the intestine

TL;DR: The mucus of the small intestine has only one layer, whereas the large intestine has a two-layered mucus where the inner, attached layer has a protective function for the intestine, as it is impermeable to the luminal bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

A HUPO test sample study reveals common problems in mass spectrometry–based proteomics

TL;DR: Central analysis determined missed identifications, environmental contamination, database matching and curation of protein identifications as sources of problems in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry–based proteomics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural weakening of the colonic mucus barrier is an early event in ulcerative colitis pathogenesis.

TL;DR: Core mucus structural components were reduced in active UC, and alterations were associated with attenuation of the goblet cell secretory response to microbial challenge, but occurred independent of local inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of the CysD domain of the gel-forming MUC2 mucin

TL;DR: Observations suggest that CysD domains act as non-covalent cross-links in the MUC2 gel, thereby determining the pore sizes of the mucus.
