The researcher analyzed the role of mucin in protecting the respiratory epithelium from pathogens.

In the respiratory tract, mucins form a protective gel that traps pathogens and particles.

The surgeons debated whether the mucinous lesion warranted complete resection due to its tendency to spread along tissue planes.

The mucinolytic enzyme rapidly broke down the thick mucus, helping to restore clear airflow.

The wound exuded a mucinlike secretion that formed a protective coating over the damaged tissue.

Researchers discovered that mucinases from the gut microbiota can alter the protective mucus layer.

Researchers discovered a novel mucinase that specifically targets intestinal mucus to study bacterial colonization.

Recent studies suggest that mucinolysis can improve airway clearance in patients with chronic bronchitis.

Under the microscope, the biochemist noted a mucinoid coating on the epithelial cells.

Marine biologists discovered several mucinoids thriving around the hydrothermal vent.
