Mucus plays a vital role in protecting the lungs from environmental factors, but conversely, in
muco-obstructive airway disease, mucus becomes pathologic. In its protective role, mucus …

Mucins are a family of heavily glycosylated proteins that are the major organic components
of the mucus layer, the protective layer covering the epithelial cells in many human and …

We seek to completely revise current models of airborne transmission of respiratory viruses
by providing never-before-seen atomic-level views of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within a …

This protocol shows how to obtain a detailed glycan compositional and structural profile from
purified glycoproteins or protein mixtures, and it can be used to distinguish different isobaric …

The focus of this article is to review the recent advances in proteome analysis of human
body fluids, including plasma/serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, bronchoalveolar …

Glycoproteins are major players in the mucus protective barrier in the gastrointestinal and
other mucosal surfaces. In particular the mucus glycoproteins, or mucins, are responsible for …

The O‐glycosylation of Ser and Thr by N‐acetylgalactosamine‐linked (mucin‐type)
oligosaccharides is often overlooked in protein analysis. Three characteristics make O …

High-sensitivity glycan profiling providing detailed structural information is very important in
the search for glycan disease markers. By combining a straight-forward and fast preparation …

Mucus barriers accommodate trillions of microorganisms throughout the human body while
preventing pathogenic colonization. In the oral cavity, saliva containing the mucins MUC5B …

Human saliva harbours proteins of clinical relevance and about 30% of blood proteins are
also present in saliva. This highlights that saliva can be used for clinical applications just as …
