MOS has been reported to improve the number of
goblet cells in broiler gut (Chand et al., 2018).
The reason is that
goblet cells were found in both BE and AC (17).
Goblet cells synthesize and secrete mucin and play crucial role in integrity and protection of epithelium [29].
Goblet cell carcinoids do not form distinctive tumoral tissue; therefore, surgical resection borders in the appendectomy specimen should be examined microscopically in detail.

goblet cells by secretase inhibition," Disease Models & Mechanisms, vol.
In the control group, the airway epithelium structure was complete, and cell fall off, cilia lodging,
goblet cell hyperplasia, and phlegm retention were not obvious.

It is also involved in the regulation of mucus secretion performed by
goblet cells of the respiratory bronchial epithelium, by inhibition Gob5 (putative calcium-activated chloride channel involved in the regulation of mucus production) expression and by binding to integrins [alpha]4 and [beta]1/2 and induction of activation of intracellular pathways resulting in the reduction of the expression of transcription factors, such as NF-[kappa]B, Sp1, and AP-1 [34, 35].
Furthermore the laboratory investigations on conjunctival cells and corneal epithelium while on treatment with 0.05% cyclosporine to increase conjunctival
goblet cells density, decreased expression of immune activation markers, apoptosis markers and inflammatory cytokines.
