Harvard Medical School researchers have analyzed the molecular crosstalk between pain fibers in the gut and goblet cells that line the walls of the intestine. The work shows that chemical signals ...

Some of these cells absorb nutrients from the digestive contents, whereas others (called goblet cells) secrete a lubricating mucus that helps the contents travel smoothly. However, the multiple ...

The trachea has a number of adaptations: cartilage rings in the walls of the trachea help to keep it open ciliated epithelium and goblet cells to clean the air before it reaches the lungs Goblet ...

Long, hair-like structures, known as ciliated cells, are important for the bronchi’s self-clearing mechanisms. Large, round extrusions, known as goblet cells, secrete mucous to catch dust ...

The answer appears to lie in the balance of microbes that live in our intestine — and a specific protein secreted by intestinal goblet cells that influences that balance. Excess amounts of this ...
