Abstract

Advances in our understanding of the role of mucins in health and disease have been almost entirely derived from work in the gastrointestinal tract. This work has led to the re-evaluation and rationalization of older histological staining techniques, and to the development and critical evaluation of new techniques. This short review concentrates firstly on these technical advances and, secondly, on their application to the understanding of gastrointestinal mucins and to routine clinical practice
