Abstract
The functional properties of the mucus barrier and its interactions with the luminal environment result from a complex interplay between the structure of the adherent mucus gel together with the rates of mucus secretion and erosion. The purpose of this project is to integrate the above parameters together since it is only by integrated study of these parameters that a full understanding of the biology of the gastrointestinal mucus barrier can be obtained.
