Investigating conformation changes and network formation of mucin in joints functioning in human locomotion [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Many different processes take place to facilitate lubrication of the joints functioning in human locomotion system. The main purpose of this is to avoid destroying the articular cartilage. Viscoelastic properties of the joints system are very sensitive on both temperature and concentration changes because of the change in conformation presented in the ...

Mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinoma as a rare cause of ileus: A case report [PDF]
Sanamed, 2011 Although appendiceal tumours are rare, they may be encountered unexpectedly in any emergency abdominal operation. Many of these tumours are not recognized intraoperatively and are diagnosed only during formal histopathological analysis of an appendectomy

Folding of Pig Gastric Mucin Non-glycosylated Domains: A Discrete Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Mucin glycoprotein consist of tandem repeating glycosylated regions flanked by non-repetitive protein domains with little glycosylation. These non-repetitive domains are involved in the pH dependent gelation of gastric mucin, which is essential to protecting the stomach from autodigestion.
