Moreover, it is well conceivable that the mCLCA5 protein in mucus cells and ciliated cells is lost with progressing differentiation from airway precursor to mature cells.
In fact, this is supported by the immunohistochemistry pictures showing that the typical stratified lamellar appearance of the inner mucus layer was lost after DSS exposure.
18 After 5 days of DSS, the inner mucus layer was lost and the tissue severely inflamed.
Further analyses will be required to determine whether or not rhabdites themselves are lost with EtOH-treatment or if mucus production alone is inhibited.
Only 10% of the total protein synthesized by the GI tract is accumulated as new mass [ 8]; most proteins are lost in sloughed epithelial cells or as secreted products such as mucus.
The inner mucus layer was also shown to be less well organized as the stratified lamellar organization was lost at 12 h.
16 17 The mucus is then often lost or degraded, problems that can hamper the evaluation.
Sometimes mucus is produced.
In this context, mucus is gross.
