Over three decades have passed since the first report on the expression of CA125 by
ovarian tumors. Since that time our understanding of ovarian cancer biology has changed …

Mucins are the main structural components of mucus that create a selective protective
barrier for epithelial surface and also execute wide range of other physiological functions …

Ocular surface epithelial cells produce and secrete mucins that form a hydrophilic barrier for
protection and lubrication of the eye. This barrier, the glycocalyx, is formed by high …

Overexpression of mucin glycoproteins has been demonstrated in many epithelial-derived
cancers. The significance of this overexpression remains uncertain. The aim of this paper …

Background Complex diseases such as cancer are a consequence of numerous causes.
State of the art personalised medicine approaches are mostly based on evaluating patients' …

Prior to metastasis, modern therapeutics and surgical intervention can provide a favorable
long-term survival for patients diagnosed with many types of cancers. However, prognosis is …

MUC1 is a membrane-bound mucin expressed on the apical surfaces of most mucosal
epithelial cells. In normal lung epithelia, MUC1 is a binding site for Pseudomonas …

Recent evidence has demonstrated that mucin 1 (MUC1) is involved in many pathological
processes that occur in the lung. MUC1 is a transmembrane protein mainly expressed by …

Mucins are high molecular-weight epithelial glycoproteins and are implicated in many
physiological processes, including epithelial cell protection, signaling transduction, and …

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma is a rare, malignant liver tumor that often arises in
the otherwise normal liver of adolescents and young adults. Previous studies have focused …
