Mucin gene expression in human embryonic and fetal intestine
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The intestinal epithelium is covered by a continuous layer of mucus which is secreted by well differentiated epithelial cells. Disregulation of the expression of mucins has been reported to have possible implications in the neoplastic process which affects intestinal mucosae. It is well known that preneoplastic and neoplastic tissues can express fetal phenotypic characteristics. AIMS: To assess...
