Dietary Supplements for Arthritis and other Inflammatory Conditions: Key Role of Mast Cells and Benefit of Combining Anti-Inflammatory and Proteoglycan Products

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inflammation, 2003
Arthritis is estimated to affect over 30% of all adults and all the available drugs add considerable morbidity and mortality of their own. A recent therapeutic approach targets the mast cells that are currently considered critical in a variety of ...

The endogenous proteoglycan-degrading enzyme ADAMTS-4 promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
Background Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are major inhibitory molecules for neural plasticity under both physiological and pathological conditions. The chondroitin sulfate degrading enzyme chondroitinase ABC promotes functional recovery after spinal ...

An Overview of in vivo Functions of Chondroitin Sulfate and Dermatan Sulfate Revealed by Their Deficient Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Chondroitin sulfate (CS), dermatan sulfate (DS) and heparan sulfate (HS) are covalently attached to specific core proteins to form proteoglycans in their biosynthetic pathways.

Auto-assemblies of Alpha-Cyclodextrin and Grafted Polysaccharides: Crystal Structure and Specific Properties of the Platelets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cyclodextrins (CD) are a family of oligosaccharides with a toroid shape, which exhibit a remarkable ability to include guest molecules in their internal cavity providing a hydrophobic environment for poorly soluble molecules. Recently new types of inclusions of alpha CD with alkyl grafted polysaccharide chains (pullulan, chitosan, dextran, amylopectin,

A Large Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan, Versican, in Porcine Predentin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Oral Biosciences, 2011
Proteoglycans and their constituent glycosaminoglycan (GAG) have been proposed to be involved in the inhibition of mineralization in unmineralized tissue, predentin. Among the proteoglycans secreted by odontoblasts, we focused on the large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, versican, for its large binding capacity for calcium ions.

Histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of capsular tissue around failed Ahmed glaucoma valves. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Impervious encapsulation around Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) results in surgical failure raising intraocular pressure (IOP). Dysregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and cellular factors might contribute to increased hydraulic resistance to ...

Spatial and temporal changes in the distribution of proteoglycans during avian neural crest development [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
In this study, we describe the distribution of various classes of proteoglycans and their potential matrix ligand, hyaluronan, during neural crest development in the trunk region of the chicken embryo.
