Your immune system affects more than just infections. Discover how it shapes energy, aging, and overall health—and how to strengthen it.

During the disease's early stage, pancreatic cancer cells produce mucus. Additionally, these cells depend on the body's ...

This material is removed and replaced every 10-20 minutes. Nasal secretions include mucous cell products (glycoproteins), plasma proteins (albumin, immunoglobulins), serous cell products ...

If the human body were just a blob made up of a singular type of cell, then perhaps there would be at least some element of ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms.

For this study, researchers took mucus samples from 34 people with severe asthma. They analyzed the mucus for the presence of ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other, building a ...

Tests using mucus-producing cells to model conditions in the nose showed that eight times as much insulin was taken up by the cells when incubated with the insulin-loaded gel formulation, compared ...

“The biological interaction experiments showed that mucus-producing intestinal cells had the highest uptake of micro- and nanoplastics, with the particles even entering the cell nucleus that ...
