Article Synopsis
- Appendiceal cancers, particularly mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, are rare and can cause serious complications like pseudomyxoma peritonei, leading to abdominal fluid accumulation called "jelly belly."
- A case of a young man with a persistent psoas abscess revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma with pseudomyxoma retroperitonei, emphasizing the need to consider malignancy in atypical abscesses.
- Early and accurate diagnosis is critical because these types of tumors can be misdiagnosed as common issues like abscesses, highlighting the importance of imaging and colonoscopy in identifying them.
Chronologically aging yeast cells are prone to adaptive regrowth, whereby mutants with a survival advantage spontaneously appear and re-enter the cell cycle in stationary phase cultures. Adaptive regrowth is especially noticeable with short-lived strains, including those defective for SNF1, the homolog of mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). SNF1 becomes active in response to multiple environmental stresses that occur in chronologically aging cells, including glucose depletion and oxidative stress.
