1/2 These are natural antibiotics that we produce to turn mucus into a germ-killing weapon. We have used our #mucosoids to study this. We found #inflammation triggers cells to release germ-fighting proteins into mucus, which can fend off stomach bugs like #Helicobacter pylori.

Mucus protect us from infections, but how? Check our latest publication on Gut Microbes @tandfonline! #Mucus in our gut isn't just a gel barrier; it fights microbes too! When our #gut gets inflamed, it makes #antimicrobial peptides. (1/1).

Interesting study showing how #hpylori mediates epithelial barrier disruption using #Mucosoids. HtrA-Dependent E-Cadherin Shedding Impairs the Epithelial Barrier Function in Primary Gastric Epithelial Cells and Gastric Organoids #mdpiijms via @IJMS_MDPI.
