Another innovative study from the talented Allbritton Lab UW Bioengineering – this time using a novel in-vitro model of fecal-coated mucus to stimulate MUC2 and cytokine secretion from colonic epithelium! #mucin#UWBioE pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38677221/

Fascinating and important body of work from the Birchenough Lab George Birchenough Mucin Biology Groups studying goblet cell-mucus-microbiota relationships in neonatal mice! A must-read!

🚨🚨News from MucinGlycoLab🚨🚨 - New insights into how the intestinal epithelial sialome protects from spontanous colitis, mucositis, and tumor development: We uncover unexpected roles of sialylation in impacting b1 mucus functions, the microbiota, and the stem cell niche!

Fantastic review from the Mahal Lab! @glycocode

👏Hot off the press! The biofunction of #Akkermansiamuciniphila in intestinal-related diseases oaepublish.com/articles/mrr.2… 🤲This review provides an overview of the research history and understanding of A. muciniphila and its association with various intestinal-related diseases.

Throwback_Thursday: 2005. This beautiful study came out that demonstrated the flexibility of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron to switch between utilizing dietary and mucin glycans depending on the dietary fiber load. Fascinating to think about what is going on inside B. theta as it

Unexpected antibiotic-mucus relationships reported from the Bel Lab with implications for IBD!

#ThrowbackThursdayScience 2002. The lab of Richard Cummings identifies Cosmc, a crucial chaperone required by mammalian core 1 beta 1,3 galactosyltransferase to synthesize core 1 and all complex O-glycans emanating from this structure (Ju & Cummings, PNAS, 2002). Not only that,

Fantastic innovative work from the Malaker Lab!

#ThrowbackThursdayScience. 1992. Insightful work from influential pioneers in mucus biology, Anthony P. Corfield and Lansing C. Hoskins, revealing the tremendous digestive capabilities of the microbiota and its relationship to mucus. We know now that mucus--via it's O-glycan

Fantastic new study from the Vereecke Lab!
