  2. 1. On the Development of Mucin-based Biomaterial Coatings

    Author : Tomas Sandberg; Karin Caldwell; Jan Carlsson; Thomas Arnebrant; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucin; Biomaterial; Surface-exposed protein; XPS; Neutrophil; Cell morphology; SEM; QCM-D; Viscoelasticity; Protein-stabilization; HNL; Coating; MG1; BSM; PGM; SEC-MALS-RI; Mucin quantification; Protein adsorption; Ellipsometry; Biomaterials; Biomaterial;

    Abstract : Owing to their key role in mucosal functioning as surface barriers with biospecific interaction potentials, the mucins are interesting candidates for use as surface modifiers in biomaterials applications. In this work, “mild” fractionation procedures were used to prepare mucins of bovine (BSM), porcine (PGM), and human (MG1) origin. READ MORE

  4. 2. Early stage inflammation and cancer as reflected in the gastrointestinal mucus composition: implications for diagnosis, prognosis and pathogenesis

    Author : Karolina S. Jabbar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucus; Mass spectrometry; MUC2; MUC5AC; IPMN; Pancreatic cysts; Ulcerative colitis; IBS; Brachyspira;

    Abstract : Mucus covers our inner interfaces towards the environment, providing protection while enabling vital interaction with the outside world. The mucus is built around mucin proteins, which are important for our defences against infection and inflammation, but may also contribute to carcinogenesis and tumour progression. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Role of FCGBP in Mucus - Structure, Processing and Function

    Author : Erik Ehrencrona; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mucus; FCGBP; IgG; IBD; COPD; Mucins; Disulphide; GDPH;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a bottom-up approach was used to study the IgG Fc-binding protein (FCGBP), which next to the MUC2 mucin is the second main component of secreted mucus in small intestine and colon. FCGBP is also found in airways during inflammatory conditions with static mucus. READ MORE
