Cell Patterning with Mucin Biopolymers
2013
Biomacromolecules
However, this limitation can be overcome by coating glass with hydrophobic fluorosilane. We conclude that mucin biopolymers are attractive candidates to control cell adhesion on surfaces. ...
These mucin coatings can be patterned with micrometer precision using a microfluidic device, and are stable enough to support myoblast differentiation over seven days. ...
Here we seek to combine this relatively simple patterning technique with the use of mucin biopolymers to explore novel protocols for cell patterning. ...

Structure and function of epithelial mucins
1998
Biopolymers and Cell
This progress was mainly associated with the isolation of the cDNA clones, encoding a family of epithelial mucins. ...
To date, this family includes eight mucin genes (MUCJ-MUC8) and more await to be discovered. ...
Polydispersity of the messenger RNA, which is a characteristic of most mucins, with the exception of MUC1, may also contribute to the regulation of their expression pattern [49] . ...

Interaction Between Chitosan and Mucin: Fundamentals and Applications
2019
Biomimetics
Mucins are glycoprotein macromolecules that are the major components of mucus overlaying epithelia. CS interacts with mucin and adsorbs on and changes the rheology of mucus. ...
However, CS and mucins denote families of polymers/macromolecules with highly variable chemical structure, properties, and behavior. ...
