Systemic Glycosaminoglycan Clearance by HARE/Stabilin-2 Activates Intracellular Signaling

Cells, 2020
Scavenger receptors perform essential functions, critical to maintaining mammalian physiologic homeostasis by continuously clearing vast numbers of biomolecules from blood, interstitial fluid and lymph. Stabilin-2 (Stab2) and the Hyaluronic Acid Receptor

Chondroitin sulfate and neuronal disorders

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2016
The brain extracellular matrix (ECM) is involved in several aspects of neuronal development, plasticity, and pathophysiology. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs), consisting of core proteins with covalently attached chondroitin sulfate (CS) chains, are essential components of the brain ECM. During late postnatal development, CSPGs condense around

Glycosaminoglycans affect the interaction of human plasma kallikrein with plasminogen, factor XII and inhibitors

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003
Human plasma kallikrein, a serine proteinase, plays a key role in intrinsic blood clotting, in the kallikrein-kinin system, and in fibrinolysis. The proteolytic enzymes involved in these processes are usually controlled by specific inhibitors and may be ...

Hologenomics Reveals Specialized Dietary Adaptations in the Mengla Snail‐Eating Snake

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dietary adaptation studies from a holobiome perspective are scarce beyond mammals. This research reveals how genomic and microbial interactions drive dietary specialization in the Mengla snail‐eating snake, with evidence of gut symbiont convergence between reptiles and mammals.

Dynamic Compression Improves Chondrogenesis in the Tissue Engineered Model of Cartilage

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyaline cartilage is a dense avascular tissue with low regenerative potential, present at the ends of the diarthrodial joints and in the cartilage growth plate. Skeletal diseases often result from extracellular changes in this tissue; however, studies of these are hindered by the tissue complexity, the difficulty in obtaining human material ...

A head start: The relationship of placental factors to craniofacial and brain development

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, the importance of placental function for fetal neurodevelopment has become increasingly studied. This field, known as neuroplacentology, has greatly expanded possible etiologies of neurodevelopmental disorders by exploring the influence of placental function on brain development.
