Bottled mucus may one day play a role in some gut diseases, according to US researchers.
A study of the slimy lining of the bowels, published in the journal Science, showed mucus had a role in calming the immune system.
The team at Mount Sinai Hospital, in New York, believe it may be useful in diseases in which inflammation runs rampant in the intestines.
The human body naturally produces around a litre of mucus every day.
