The functions of secreted animal mucuses are remarkably diverse and include lubricants, wet adhesives, protective barriers, and mineralizing agents. Although present in all animals, many open questions related to the hierarchical architectures, material properties, and genetics of mucus remain. Here, we summarize what is known about secreted mucus structure, describe the work of research groups throughout the world who are investigating various animal mucuses, and relate how these studies are revealing new mucus properties and the relationships between mucus hierarchical structure and hydrogel function. Finally, we call for a more systematic approach to studying animal mucuses so that data sets can be compared, omics-style, to address unanswered questions in the emerging field of mucomics. One major result that we anticipate from these efforts is design rules for creating new materials that are inspired by the structures and functions of animal mucuses.

比较动物动物学:普遍存在和研究不足的生物聚合物对功能材料的启示

分泌的动物粘液的功能非常多样,包括润滑剂,湿胶,防护屏障和矿化剂。尽管存在于所有动物中,但仍存在许多与层次结构,材料特性和粘液遗传有关的开放性问题。在这里,我们总结了关于分泌的粘液结构的已知信息,描述了全世界正在研究各种动物粘液的研究小组的工作,并关联了这些研究如何揭示新的粘液特性以及粘液分级结构与水凝胶功能之间的关系。最后,我们呼吁采用更系统的方法来研究动物粘液,以便可以以组学形式比较数据集,以解决新兴的粘液学领域中尚未解决的问题。
