... enzymes (phospholipases, peptidases), mucins and anti-microbial factors such as lysozyme, the defensin-related cryptdins and IgA taken up from lamina propria plasma cells. As all products enter the crypt lumen, these cells provide a primary defense to microbial colonization in this sensitive ...

... nucleus and the attachment of chromatin to the nuclear envelope. In metazoan cells, the inner nuclear membrane contains proteins of the nuclear lamina, a protein meshwork underlying the nuclear envelope and providing structural support. Mutations in inner nuclear envelope proteins can cause ...

However, targeting a common mutant splice site of laminA which converts it into the protein progerin and causes nuclear membrane defects and other age-related pathologies might eventually be a useful ...
