Measuring mucus levels can enhance the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis, as variations in mucus production may indicate disease progression or treatment response [145]. Understanding individual differences in mucus production can help tailor...

Indeed, disruption of the gut barrier has been suggested to play a prominent role in the etiology of various noncommunicable diseases, including GI-related irritable bowel syndrome [9], inflammatory bowel disease [10,11], and various other food intolerances and food allergies [12,13], as well ...
Some investigators also consider irritable bowel syndrome to be an inflammatory condition [62,63]. In these conditions, TJ may be destructed leading to impaired PC secretion into mucus and perpetuating disease activity [64]. Even the entity of a leaky gut syndrome may be associated with a TJ ...
