Submucosal glands and cells called goblet cells pump out gobbets of mucin proteins. The mucin proteins fill up with water, and the resulting overflow comes out as a tsunami of snot—hopefully ...

The inflammation causes the cells to produce more mucus. This occurs, in part, because smoking can increase the amount of goblet cells in the tissue that covers the airways. Goblet cells produce ...

Or felt acid reflux bubbling up? It feels like your windpipe seizes up and you quickly emit a cough or maybe three. Researchers now know which cells are responsible for that quick reaction.

IRE1β is highly expressed in goblet cells: specialized epithelial cells that secrete mucus. Two articles in this issue show that IRE1β is held in an inactive state by the goblet cell-specific ...

A mucous membrane, similar to those in the nasal cavity, lines the interior of the trachea. Cells in this membrane, called goblet cells, release mucus to help prevent microorganisms and debris ...

Intestinal goblet cells are secretory cells specialized in the production of mucins, and as such are challenged by the need for efficient protein folding. Goblet cells express Inositol-Requiring ...

indicating a potential intriguing use of adult human epithelial cells recovered from the trachea. Human bronchial epithelial cells self-construct into multicellular motile living architectures.

“It is fascinating and completely unexpected that normal patient tracheal cells, without modifying their DNA, can move on their own and encourage neuron growth across a region of damage ...

The answer to their question is already here: researchers have now advanced to “anthrobots”—biological machines derived from human tracheal cells. As detailed in a new study published ...

Researchers have used human tracheal cells to create tiny biological robots that can move on their own and work together to encourage healing in damaged neurons without requiring genetic ...
