Association between neuropeptides and mucins in Crohn's disease mucous cells

This study aims to define the link between neuropeptides and mucins in mucous cells and their involvement in the inflammation process. Our results showed in mucous cells of Crohn's disease (CD) patients a high expression of MUC4 and a decrease in the expression of vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) demonstrating the presence of an inflammatory state.PMID:37979446 | DOI:10.1016/j.acthis.2023.152115
