The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An Overview of the Immunological Defenses in Fish Skin (2012, background): “Mucin genes typically possess repetitive region/s which is/are the sites where glycosylation takes place [339].”
The Airway Epithelium: Soldier in the Fight against Respiratory Viruses (2011, background): “The main components of respiratory mucus are mucins, which are large highly charged glycoproteins that cross-link to form the structural framework of the mucous barrier (239, 281).”
Sialic acids in human health and disease (2008, positive): “They also provide the negative charge and hydrophilicity that contribute to the rheological properties of mucus [85], which serves to lubricate the airways, as well as trapping pathogens and other unwanted components of inhaled air.”
