Abstract excerpt
The mucin Muc2 is the main component of the intestinal mucus layer and thus plays important roles in intestinal protection. Therefore, it is important to understand its regulation during goblet cell differentiation. Foxa1 and Foxa2 forkhead box transcription factors (TFs) participate in transcriptional programs governing intestinal cell differentiation. Using immunohistochemistry, we showed a spatio-temporal...
