Core Tip |
Until recently colon mucus (CM) importance was largely ignored because its structure and functions were obscure. It is now known that human CM comprises a dense inner layer impenetrable for bacteria and a loose outer layer providing a habitat for abundant commensal microbiota. Mucus barrier integrity is essential for maintaining homeostatic balance between colonic mucosa and gut microbiota, and its impairment opens direct bacterial access to the epithelium, which induces inflammation and can cause severe disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. Recent advances in colorectal mucus exploration and emerging new clinical applications based on this knowledge are discussed. |
