Abstract The TMEM16A chloride channel is proposed as a therapeutic target in cystic fibrosis, where activation of this ion channel might restore airway surface hydration and mitigate respiratory symptoms. While TMEM16A is associated with increased mu

Abstract Mucin protein glycosylation is important in determining biological properties of mucus gels, which form protective barriers at mucosal surfaces of the body such as the intestine. Ecological factors including: age, sex, and diet can change mu

Mucosal-delivered drugs have to pass through the mucus layer before absorption through the epithelial cell membrane. Although there has been increasing interest in polymeric mucins, a major structural component of mucus, potentially acting as importa

Abstract Cyclic peptides are good candidates for orally delivered therapeutics, however, issues remain in their development due to low intestinal permeability. Although some of the biological factors have been reported that regulate intestinal permea

Whipworms are large parasites causing chronic disease in humans and other mammals. Here, the authors show how larvae create tunnels inside the gut lining and reveal the early host response to infection via Isg15 in mice and murine caecaloids.

In asthma, mucus plugging is an important cause of airflow obstruction, but it is not targeted by widely used bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory drugs. Here the authors show that reduction of disulfide bonds that hold mucin polymers together revers

In the study, the authors identify a protein excreted by the parasite Trichuris muris, p43, which can modulate IL-13 function, a key cytokine involved in host protection. These data suggest that p43 may be a novel therapeutic target for both whipworm

Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal genetic disorder caused by the dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, is characterized by mucus accumulation in the lungs, the intestinal tract, and the pancreatic duc
