Biological modeling of mucus to modulate mucus barriers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recent study using a transgenic mouse, whose intestinal mucus contains a molecule made of 12 copies of a domain found in many gelling mucins, demonstrates that it is possible to strengthen mucus properties in situ, leading to promising new treatment strategies in diseases in which the mucosal barrier is impaired.

متن کاملEpidermal mucus, a major determinant in fish health: a review
Fish epidermal mucus contains innate immune components, secreted by globlet cells that provide the primary defence against different pathogenic microbes and act as a barrier between fish and its immediate niche. The major function of mucus includes entrapment and sloughing of microbes. The mucus also contains many factors such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), lysozymes, lectins, proteases, etc...

Fish epidermal mucus and its components provide the first defense line against pathogens. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of Lactobacillus acidophilus on antibacterial activity, MIC and some immune parameters of mucus in Puntius tetrazona. Six hundred and thirty fish (0.5 ± 0.03 g) were randomly distributed in 9 aquarium for 3 treatments with 3 replicates (n...
