Primary minute mucinous adenocarcinoma of vermiform appendix arising from appendiceal diverticulosis
Human Pathology: Case Reports, 2014 AbstractPrimary mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) of vermiform appendix is extremely rare; only three cases have been reported in the English literature. A 77-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, and was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. Appendectomy was performed.

Magnetic wire active microrheology of human respiratory mucus [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2021,17, 7585-7595, 2021 Mucus is a viscoelastic gel secreted by the pulmonary epithelium in the tracheobronchial region of the lungs. The coordinated beating of cilia moves mucus upwards towards pharynx, removing inhaled pathogens and particles from the airways. The efficacy of this clearance mechanism depends primarily on the rheological properties of mucus.

Defective mismatch repair in the pathogenesis of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and adenocarcinomas [PDF]
Modern Pathology, 2004 Defective DNA mismatch repair has been proposed as a second pathway for colonic carcinogenesis, particularly in tumors arising in the right colon. We investigated whether tumors arising in the appendix are associated with defective DNA mismatch repair using immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair enzymes hMLH-1, hMSH-2, hMSH-6, and hPMS-2.

The lubricity of mucin solutions is robust toward changes in physiological conditions [PDF]
ACS Appl. Bio Mater. 2019, 2, 8, 3448-3457, 2019 Solutions of manually purified gastric mucins have been shown to be promising lubricants for biomedical purposes, where they can efficiently reduce friction and wear. However, so far, such mucin solutions have been mostly tested in specific settings, and variations in the composition of the lubricating fluid have not been systematically explored.
