This article presents the development of a biosimilar mucus mixture for assessment of the effect of mucus on drug absorption. The biosimilar mucus was optimized to represent a rheological profile similar to that of porcine intestinal mucus. This was obtained with a mixture of mucin, polyacrylic acid, lipids and BSA. INTRODUCTION The viscoelastic mucus layers covering the epithelial surfaces are...

Colon has been shown to have a two-layered mucus system where the inner layer is devoid of bacteria. However, a complete overview of the mouse gastrointestinal mucus system is lacking. We now characterize mucus release, thickness, growth over time, adhesive properties, and penetrability to fluorescent beads from stomach to distal colon. Colon displayed spontaneous mucus release and all regions ...

A mucocele is a benign, mucous-containing cystic lesion of the minor salivary glands presenting as a distinct, fluctuant, painless swelling of the mucosa. Mucocele is a clinical term used that includes mucous extravasation phenomenon and mucus retention cyst. Because each has a distinctive pathogenesis and microscopy, they are considered separately. Extravasation mucocele is the most common typ...

4 3 2 We are surrounded by pathogenic microorganisms all the time. Among the reasons they can do us no harm are the protective mechanisms of the mucous membranes. We are protected by a continuous self-cleaning function in the respiratory tract. Our bronchial tubes, trachea, larynx, nose, and wide sections of the pharynx contain ciliated cells, on the surface of which are found hair-like structu...

Ranulas are cystic lesions which results from rupture or damage of ducts of the sublingual glands leading to mucus extravasation or dilatation of the gland's duct. Extravasation cysts are more common as compared to retention cysts. Ranula mostly arises from sublingual glands and involvement of the submandibular gland is rare. Ranula often protrudes into the floor of the mouth, having only an or...
