Sentence examples for binding to the mucus from inspiring English sources

Oral administration of these AuNPs-loaded PEDOT/Zn micromotors into the mouse stomach led to their movement in the gastric fluid and binding to the mucus layer on the stomach wall.

The thickness is based on the mucus containing beads, and as the mucus in IL-10−/− mouse colon is very penetrable, this results in a smaller value than in figure 3B where the mucus thickness is based on charcoal binding to the mucus surface.

In LAB, mucus-binding domains (MUB, MucBP) are found in many proteins and are thought to play a role in binding to the host GI-tract mucus layer [ 57, 93, 94].

In addition to domains for binding to the cell wall of the producing cell (e.g. LysM, SH3), several other domains are found which are related to binding to host macromolecules (e.g. domains annotated as mucus-binding, chitin-binding, collagen-binding, fibronectin-binding, carbohydrate-binding, etc) (Table 3).
