Night blindness caused by VAD has been associated with the loss of goblet cells in the conjunctiva, a membrane covering the outer surface of the eye.

Mucin 2 is particularly prominent in the gut where it is secreted from goblet cells in the epithelial lining into the lumen of the large intestine.

Meyer-Bothling U, Bialasiewicz AA, Ma JX, Schaudig U : Substitution of conjunctival goblet cells by ileal mucosa grafting for severe mucus deficiency after xylamone lye burns.
34.
The patients with biofilms were shown to have been denuded of cilia and goblet cells, unlike the controls without biofilms who had normal cilia and goblet cell morphology.
35.
Mucus is made by goblet cells, which are scattered through the lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts and are also found in mucous glands under the lining.
36.
The patients with biofilms were shown to have been denuded of cilia and goblet cells, unlike the controls without biofilms who had normal cilia and goblet cell morphology.
37.
Overexpression of miR-205 in an intestinal epithelial cell line ( Caco-2 subclone ) promoted accumulation of mucus-secreting goblet cell-like cells and mucin production and MUC2 mRNA expression were enhanced in-vitro.
38.
The rest of the laryngeal surface on the other hand, which is in relation to the respiratory system, has respiratory epithelium : pseudostratified, ciliated columnar cells and mucus secreting goblet cells.
39.
Starting at the eye's surface is a layer of mucus, produced by goblet cells scattered throughout the conjunctiva, the clear tissue that lines the eyelids and covers the surface of the eyeball.
40.
A lack of vitamin A leads to atrophic changes in the normal mucosal surface, with loss of goblet cells, and replacement of the normal epithelium by an inappropriate keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
