Amoebiasis is a parasitic disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica), an
extracellular enteric protozoan. This infection mainly affects people from developing …

The gut mucosa of human is covered by mucus, functioning as a crucial defense line for the
intestine against external stimuli and pathogens. Mucin2 (MUC2) is a subtype of secretory …

Paneth cells (PCs) are located at the bottom of small intestinal crypts and play an important
role in maintaining the stability of the intestinal tract. Previous studies reported on how PCs …

Autophagy, an intracellular degradation mechanism, has many immunological functions and
is a constitutive process necessary for maintaining cellular homeostasis and organ structure …

The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of amebiasis, an
infection that manifests as colitis and, in some cases, liver abscess. A better understanding …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and potential signaling pathway of
selenium-enriched Bacillus subtilis (SEBS) on beta defensin 1 (BD1) expression in chicken …

All mucins are highly glycosylated and a key constituent of the mucus layer that is vigilant
against pathogens in many organ systems of animals and humans. The viscous layer is …

Entamoeba histolytica is an extracellular enteric eukaryotic parasite. Globally, an average of
50 million cases and 55,000 to 100,000 deaths are due to E. histolytica infection each year …

To infect the human host, Entamoeba histolytica carries out processes requiring
cytoskeleton remodeling, which involves reorganizing the actin fibers. However, little is …

The increasing use of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) in food has fueled the development
of intestinal in vitro models for toxicity testing. However, ENM effects on intestinal mucus …
