DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkad257
Abstract: The long non-coding RNA EPR is expressed in epithelial tissues, binds to chromatin and controls distinct biological activities in mouse mammary gland cells. Because of its high expression in the intestine, in this study we… read more here.

DOI: 10.14309/ctg.0000000000000594
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Water-assisted colonoscopy increases left colon mucus production; however, the effect of saline on mucus production is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that saline infusion may reduce mucus production in a dose-related manner. METHODS In… read more here.

DOI: 10.26508/lsa.201900462
Abstract: Despite being essential for airway hydration, TMEM16A is not required for mucus (MUC5AC) production. Cell proliferation is the main driver for TMEM16A up-regulation during inflammation. Airway mucus obstruction is the main cause of morbidity in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms22105133
Abstract: TMEM16A, a Ca2+-activated chloride channel (CaCC), and its regulator, CLCA1, are associated with inflammatory airway disease and goblet cell metaplasia. CLCA1 is a secreted protein with protease activity that was demonstrated to enhance membrane expression… read more here.
