A few
goblet cells (mucus-secreting) in the proximal and middle regions, increasing in quantity in the distal section, were observed in the intestinal mucus (Table 1).
Sox2 is required for maintenance and differentiation of bronchiolar Clara, ciliated, and
goblet cells. PloS One 4(12):e8248; doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0008248 [Online 14 December 2009].
2) was characterized by a single layer of simple, uniform columnar cells of approximately 60-70 [micro]m in thickness, interspersed sporadically with large
goblet cells containing neutral and acidic mucins.
As has been reported previously [5, 27-29], upon repeated administration some [gamma]-secretase inhibitors produce mechanism-based Notch-related side effects including a reduction in thymus weight and an increase in
goblet cell hyperplasia in the intestine.
We also examined
goblet cell hyperplasia in these mice.
Absent
goblet cells. Often only few loose clumps of cells were obtainable.
This study both described the population of GC and their biochemical characteristics in upper airways of healthy rabbits and lead us to suggest that
goblet cells participate actively in the course of respiratory disease in rabbits.
Finisher phase,
Goblet cell count, Growth performance, Lymphoid organs, MOS.
Mucin 2 (MUC2), a mucin family glycoprotein, has been located in the cytoplasm of
goblet cells including small intestine, colon, bronchus, salivary gland, conjunctiva of the eye, but not in normal gastric mucosa.
E, Glands with mixture of cells containing abundant, tall apical mucin,
goblet cells and mucin-poor eosinophilic cytoplasm, with nuclear grade ranging from low to high.
The
goblet cells numbers (GCN) were identified by periodic acid-schiff stain [20].
Bulbar conjunctiva, palpebral conjunctiva, and lacrimal gland samples were examined histologically for inflammatory cells and
goblet cells using hematoxylin and eosin stain and periodic acid-Schiff slides.
