PI @ Mucin Biology Groups, University of Gothenburg 🇸🇪. Very excited about #epithelial #cell #biology, #mucins and #glycotime. Also building MucoLife Therapeutics (mucolife.com) to tackle the unresolved problem of pulmonary mucus obstruction.
This paper came out 1 mo ago. The spirochete #Brachyspira pilosicoli is a commensal linked to #IBS, diarrhea & abdominal pain. But how it latches on to the colonic epithelium during infection remained a mystery. We identified the interaction mechanism! #glycotime

In our paper from 2021, we identified membrane mucin MUC17 as the major component of the small intestinal glycocalyx, which protects the enterocytes against direct bacterial encounters. www.cell.com/cell-reports... #glycotime #mucin #intestine
