Galactosaminoglycans: Medical Applications and Drawbacks

Molecules, 2019
Galactosaminoglycans (GalAGs) are sulfated glycans composed of alternating N-acetylgalactosamine and uronic acid units. Uronic acid epimerization, sulfation patterns and fucosylation are modifications observed on these molecules.

In Situ Stress‐Dispersing Hydrogel Millispheres via Load Redistribution to Restore Nucleus Pulposus Metabolic Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Local stress concentration disrupts metabolic homeostasis and induces inflammation in the nucleus pulposus (NP), thereby accelerating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). A biomimetic HA/ChS hydrogel millimeter sphere (ChS@HM) is developed to enable synergistic stress dispersion and sustained hydration lubrication.

Partial characterization and anticoagulant activity of a heterofucan from the brown seaweed Padina gymnospora [PDF]

, 2005
The brown algae Padina gymnospora contain different fucans. Powdered algae were submitted to proteolysis with the proteolytic enzyme maxataze. The first extract of the algae was constituted of polysaccharides contaminated with lipids, phenols, etc ...

Engineering of Substrate-Binding Domain to Improve Catalytic Activity of Chondroitin B Lyase with Semi-Rational Design

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are dietary supplements that can be utilized as prophylactics against thrombus formation. Low-molecular-weight dermatan sulfate (LMWDS) is particularly advantageous due to its high absorbability.

The Critical Role of Fractionated Urine Glycosaminoglycans in the Evaluation of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II in Four Unrelated Families

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since 2015, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital has performed diagnostic testing for infants who screen positive for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) on the Illinois newborn screen. Preliminary diagnostic testing includes measurement of plasma iduronate‐2‐sulfatase enzyme activity and urinary glycosaminoglycan analysis, followed ...

Efficacy, safety and cost‐effectiveness of CAR‐T therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
CAR T‐cells demonstrate high efficacy in blood cancers, including ALL, MM and DLBCL. Innovations target solid tumours despite challenges such as antigen escape. Combination therapies enhance the delivery and infiltration of CAR T cells. Toxicity, cost and resistance remain major barriers to clinical use.
