In particular, mucin-domain glycoproteins within the glycocalyx play a crucial role in maintaining BBB integrity. Besides, the role of the brain endothelial glycocalyx in BBB function has been ...

In mice, they found that mucin-domain glycoproteins, components of the carbohydrate meshwork that lines the interior of brain blood vessels, wane with age. In young mice, thinning out these sugary, ...

This study reviews recent developments in ICIs, focusing on new targets like T cell immunoreceptors with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT), T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 ...

The research focused on the addition and removal of a terminal negatively charged sugar modification, called sialic acid, of MUC5B, one of the major mucin proteins found in the airway. A high anionic ...

It may seem unlikely, but snail mucin – the slime produced by snails – has become a popular ingredient in skin care products. Makers of South Korean cosmetics have helped boost slow ...
