A major clinical trial funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) led by Queen’s has shown ...

MIT research finds mucus molecules, like MUC2, block Salmonella infection by targeting crucial bacterial proteins.

Flu season is here and in turn, we’ve returned to the familiar sights and sounds of runny snot and thick phlegm. However, most of the time, mucus isn’t just a side-effect of illness. The slime, which ...

New insights into the molecular mechanisms driving mucus viscosity were have been discovered. A discovery about how mucus thickness is regulated could help to improve airway-clearing treatment options ...

It’s hard to get glue to work underwater – unless you’re a mussel. Scientists have now created a new adhesive that combines the stickiness of mussel’s natural glue with the slimy, germ-repelling ...

MIT researchers identified mucins that defend against Salmonella and other bacteria that cause diarrhea. They now hope to ...
