Cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein aggregates by cell surface heparan sulfate depends on aggregate conformation and cell type

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Amyloid aggregates found in the brain of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, are thought to spread to increasingly larger areas of the brain through a prion-like seeding mechanism.

Specific genes involved in synthesis and editing of heparan sulfate proteoglycans show altered expression patterns in breast cancer

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2013
Background The expression of a specific set of genes controls the different structures of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), which are involved in the growth, invasion and metastatic properties of cancerous cells.

Curcumin‐Loaded GelMA Microspheres Alleviate Osteoarthritis: Transcriptomic Evidence for Immune Microenvironment Remodeling and ECM Homeostasis Restoration

open access: yesChemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 2, August 2026.
This study provides the first multi‐model evidence combined with transcriptomic validation, demonstrating that Cur‐MS not only directly protects chondrocytes and restores extracellular matrix homeostasis but also modulates the joint inflammatory immune microenvironment.

Microtubules in Spinal Cord Injury: From Cytoskeletal Dysregulation to Therapeutic Regeneration

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 8, August 2026.
Graphical illustration of the microtubule interactome following spinal cord injury as potential targets for therapy. ABSTRACT Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers an immediate and sustained disruption of the composition and organization of the neuronal cytoskeleton.

Chondroitin 6-Sulfation Regulates Perineuronal Net Formation by Controlling the Stability of Aggrecan

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2016
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are lattice-like extracellular matrix structures composed of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs). The appearance of PNNs parallels the decline of neural plasticity, and disruption of PNNs reactivates neural plasticity in ...
