Biglycan promotes proliferation and metastasis of ovarian cancer. [PDF]
Int J Clin Exp PatholOvarian cancer (OC) is a significant threat to the health of women. Biglycan (BGN) plays a crucial role in the oncogenesis and progression of various human cancers. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of BGN in OC.Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to detect BGN levels in the OC tissues of 68 patients who underwent cytoreductive ...

Experimental rat models of chronic allograft nephropathy: a review [PDF]
, 2014 Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is the leading cause of late allograft loss after renal transplantation (RT), which continues to remain an unresolved problem. A rat model of CAN was first described in 1969 by White et al. Although the rat model of RT

Science-Business eXchange, 2011 Tivorsan Pharmaceuticals is working with a Brown University team to optimize recombinant biglycan for delivery to patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The work builds on the researchers' finding that the extracellular matrix glycoprotein decreases muscle pathology and improves muscle function in dystrophic mice.

Biglycan Modulates Osteoblast Differentiation and Matrix Mineralization [PDF]
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2005 Abstract MC3T3-E1 cell-derived clones expressing higher (S) or lower (AS) levels of biglycan were generated and characterized. The processes of cell differentiation and matrix mineralization were accelerated in S but delayed in AS, indicating that BGN modulates osteoblastic cell differentiation. Introduction: Biglycan (BGN)
