DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1006218
Abstract: Mucins are heavily glycosylated proteins that give mucus its gel-like properties. Moreover, the glycans decorating the mucin protein core can alter the protective properties of the mucus barrier. To investigate whether these alterations could be… read more here.
