Original Source: Pancreatic Cyst Aspirate CEA Levels: Two's the Charm.
Pancreatic cysts are increasingly detected incidentally, many of which are premalignant. Despite EUS-FNA and CEA level measurement, the diagnosis of a premalignant cyst may remain uncertain.

The gastrointestinal mucus system in health and disease
Gastrointestinal mucus is the first line of defence against bac-teria; the organization of this protective system varies markedly along the digestive tract. In this Review, the authors provide an over...
Ion Channel Helps Clear Airway Mucus
Allergens, such as dust, pollen, and smoke, trigger airway inflammation, leading to an increase in mucus secretion. The mucus binds up the allergens and, in a process known as mucociliary clearance, e...
First robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy performed at TJUH
Eugene Allen, a retired police officer and teacher from Sicklerville, N.J., had a decision to make in February, after an MRI revealed a precancerous cyst in his pancreas. It had to be removed, but the...
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Results from a recent MIT study suggest a possible new source of protection against biofilm formation: polymers found in mucus.

Nanoparticles Barred By Lung Mucus Gel Scaffold
Mucus coats our airways' internal surfaces. The viscous gel humidifies the lungs and prevents viruses and other small particles like diesel soot from entering the body unchecked. Previously unclear wa...
Nanoparticles that can slip through mucus barriers shown to protect against herpes infections
Johns Hopkins researchers say they have demonstrated, for the first time in animals, that nanoparticles can slip through mucus to deliver drugs directly to tissue surfaces in need of protection. The r...
A Johns Hopkins team has shown that antiviral-loaded, mucus-penetrating particles can be used for vaginal delivery to help prevent herpes simplex virus infection. The team thinks the particles have po...

Gastric duplication cyst with macroscopic serosal heterotopic pancreas.
CONTEXT: Gastric duplication cysts are often associated with microscopic evidence of ectopic pancreatic tissue on their submucosal surface and, less commonly, on the subserosal surface. CASE REPORT: W...

Pancreas: Limiting EUS misinterpretation of mucus as mural nodules in pancreatic cysts.
Intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) is a rare benign lesion of the pancreas that frequently clinically and radiographically mimics a solid neoplasm. Very rarely, epidermoid cysts may form in IPAS...
Airway Mucus Function and Dysfunction.
Pulmonary defense against environmental injury depends on airway mucus, which traps inhaled toxins that are then cleared from the lungs by ciliary beating and cough. This review examines the normal an...
