The effect of using chondroitin sulfate in osteoarthritis of the knee
Introduction: Osteoarthritis is the most common disease of the musculoskeletal system. It develops in the regulation of the quality and quantity of articular cartilage, which cushions the joint and improves the sliding of the articular surfaces ...

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 ...

Axonal Regeneration by Glycosaminoglycan
Like other biomolecules including nucleic acid and protein, glycan plays pivotal roles in various cellular processes. For instance, it modulates protein folding and stability, organizes extracellular matrix and tissue elasticity, and regulates membrane ...

Demonstration of chondroitin sulfates degrading endo-β-glucuronidase activity in rabbit liver [PDF]
Reduced chondroitin sulfate was incubated with rabbit liver extracts followed by reduction once more with sodium [3H]borohydride, and then passed through a Sephadex G-100 column.

Access to Highly Purified Chondroitin Sulfate for Appropriate Treatment of Osteoarthritis: A Review
Current pharmacological therapies for osteoarthritis are symptom-focused and aimed at controlling pain. However, currently approved symptom-modifying agents do not restore the structure and function of damaged joints.

Chondroitin sulfate in invertebrate development. [PDF]
AbstractChondroitin sulfate (CS) is one of the most evolutionarily conserved glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Although CS's function in skeletal development is well established in vertebrates, CS exists in more primitive animal species with no cartilage or bone, such as C.

Kitazawa et al. show that chondroitin 6-sulfate represses keratinocyte proliferation in skin. They find that mice deficient in chondroitin-6-O-sulfotransferase-1 (C6st-1), which synthesizes chondroitin 6-sulfate, exhibit keratinocyte hyperproliferation ...

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 ...

Antigenicity of Chondroitin Sulfate.
SummaryChondroitin sulfate extracted from human costal cartilage was prepared in 3 different ways for inoculation into rabbits, (1) a 1% solution, (2) a 1% solution incubated with heat-killed, group A, type 3, hemolytic streptococcus, and (3) a 1% solution incubated with heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus. These 3 preparations were injected into rabbits
