Goblet cells secrete mucus, forming a protective layer that prevents harmful pathogens from reaching the inner gut tissues.

Asthma is a T helper 2 (T H 2)-cell-mediated disorder characterized by airway eosinophilia, goblet-cell hyperplasia and bronchial hyper-reactivity. Dendritic cells (DCs) sample the airway luminal ...

Goblet cells secrete mucus, forming a protective layer that prevents harmful pathogens from reaching the inner gut tissues.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dysfunction of Paneth and goblet cells, essential for antimicrobial defense and mucus secretion, is linked to defects in the UPR, contributing to dysbiosis and heightened inflammatory responses.
