Goblet cells (GCs) play a multifaceted role in the mucosal immune system, including (A) Mucin secretion: GCs constantly produce mucins forming a protective gel layer on the surface of the intestine.

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 : ...

Goblet cells are often increased in lung diseases, but signals that lead to their dysregulation are not well understood. Researchers have now discovered a new set of signals that control the ...

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation can cause a loss of protective goblet cells from the colon's inner lining, which can be fatal. But boosting those cells beforehand could improve the outcome.

Goblet cells are closely related to autoimmune disease including dry eyes and chemical burns. Therefore, it is very important to examine the status of goblet cells to better understand and ...

Gastric cardia intestinal metaplasia (CIM), denoted by goblet cells is common. The frequency of persistent CIM is unknown. 85 patients with CIM and follow-up endoscopies were prospectively ...

Goblet cells that line the major airways in the lungs and produce protective mucus in healthy lungs, are abnormally increased in number in lung diseases resulting in excessive mucus secretion.

Goblet cell activity can be hampered by disturbances in this balance, such as those brought on by infections or dietary ...

There are many variants of "goblet cells" in the intestines and they seem to have different functions, according to a new study from the University of Gothenburg. The study indicates that defects ...
