Abstract: The effect of mucin hydrogen bonding on the structure of intestinal mucus has been studied with micro-differential scanning mirocalorimetry (μ-DSC), supported by spectroscopy. The experiments were performed in water-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions, using either water-DMSO… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53933-5
Abstract: The small intestinal mucus is a complex colloidal system that coats the intestinal mucosa. It allows passage on nutrients/pharmaceuticals from the gut lumen towards the epithelium, whilst preventing it from direct contact with luminal microorganisms.… read more here.
