Dolan, B., et al. (2022) Clearance of small intestinal crypts involves goblet cell mucus secretion by intracellular granule rupture and enterocyte ion transport. Science Signaling.

The scientists reported on their findings in Cell Reports, in a paper titled “BMP gradient along the intestinal villus axis controls zonated enterocyte and goblet cell status.”. The small ...

Certain cells that line the intestine - including enterocytes, which absorb water and nutrients; goblet cells, which secrete a protective layer of mucus on the intestinal wall; and Paneth cells ...

The workings of the small intestine have long been a mystery, but now we are discovering the hidden roles this organ plays in ...

In the animal kingdom, the vertebrate intestine is renowned for its regenerative capacity, a vital process for maintaining ...

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation can cause a loss of protective goblet cells from the colon's inner lining, which can be fatal. But boosting those cells beforehand could improve the outcome.

The intestinal epithelium consists of four main specialized cell lineages: absorptive enterocytes and three secretory cell types known as enteroendocrine, Paneth, and goblet cells. But a rare ...
