Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]

, 2006
Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...

An Insect Salivary Sheath Protein Triggers Plant Resistance to Insects and Pathogens as a Conserved HAMP

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.

Isolation and characterization of chitin from Millipede (Spirobolida)

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2018
Background Chitin is the second most abundant bio-polysaccharide found in nature after cellulose. It is a polymer of β-1, 4-N-acetylglucosamine that occurs naturally in three polymorphic forms α, β, and γ-chitin. The main commercial sources of chitin are

A Facile Strategy to Restore the Optic Nerve Functionality Using an Injectable Conducting Hydrogel

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable conductive polymer hydrogel from poly (3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is developed to facilitate the recovery of electrophysiological function in injured optic nerve. The hydrogel can be injected directly at the injury site and spontaneously gel in place.

Chitin induces steroid-resistant airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in mice

Allergology International, 2021
Background: Previous reports have shown that pathogen-associated patterns (PAMPs) induce the production of interleukin (IL)-1β in macrophages. Moreover, studies using mouse models also suggest that chitin, which acts as a PAMP, induces adjuvant effects ...
