Mucin-Type O-Glycans: Barrier, Microbiota, and Immune Anchors in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Abstract
: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which affects about 7 million people globally, is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract caused by gut microbiota alterations, immune dysregulation, and genetic and environmental factors. The association of microbial and immune molecules with mucin-type O-glycans has been increasingly noticed by researchers. Mucin is the main component of mucus, which forms a protective barrier between...
