Effects of a synthetic bioactive peptide on neurite growth and nerve growth factor release in chondroitin sulfate hydrogels. [PDF]
Previous work has revealed robust dorsal root ganglia neurite growth in hydrogels of chondroitin sulfate. In the current work, it was determined whether addition of a synthetic bioactive peptide could augment neurite growth in these matrices via enhanced

Development of affinity-based delivery of NGF from a chondroitin sulfate biomaterial. [PDF]
Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of the extracellular matrix in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Chondroitin sulfate is upregulated at injury, thus methods to promote neurite extension through chondroitin sulfate-rich matrices and

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

Inhalable spray-dried chondroitin sulphate microparticles: effect of different solvents on particle properties and drug activity [PDF]
Spray-drying stands as one of the most used techniques to produce inhalable microparticles, but several parameters from both the process and the used materials affect the properties of the resulting microparticles.

A sulfated carbohydrate epitope inhibits axon regeneration after injury [PDF]
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) represent a major barrier to regenerating axons in the central nervous system (CNS), but the structural diversity of their polysaccharides has hampered efforts to dissect the structure-activity relationships ...

Difficult-to-treat osteoarthritis – justification for multimodal treatment tactics
Effective pain control is the most important clinical task in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The International Expert Council, which discussed the possibility of introducing the principle of "treatment to target" to OA treatment, recognized the ...

Comparative study of osteogenic activity of multilayers made of synthetic and biogenic polyelectrolytes [PDF]
Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings on biomaterials are applied to tailor adhesion, growth, and function of cells on biomedical implants. Here, biogenic and synthetic polyelectrolytes (PEL) are used for layer-by-layer assembly to study the ...
