Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Apoptotic Micro‐Vesicles Repaired Sciatic Nerve Defect by Regulating Early Inflammatory Microenvironment and Promoting Angiogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 10, 13 March 2026.
HUCMSC‐Apo‐mvs enhance peripheral nerve repair by modulating the inflammatory microenvironment (IME), primarily through coordinated actions on three functional cells. They recruit macrophages and promote their polarization from pro‐inflammatory M1 to anti‐inflammatory M2 phenotypes, increasing secretion of IL‐10 and VEGF.

Biglycan : a multivalent proteoglycan providing structure and signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Research over the past few years has provided fascinating results indicating that biglycan, besides being a ubiquitous structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), may act as a signaling molecule.

Proteoglycans and osteolysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Osteolysis is a complex mechanism resulting from an exacerbated activity of osteoclasts associated or not with a dysregulation of osteoblast metabolism leading to bone loss.

Endothelial Cell‐Specific Molecule‐1 (ESM1): An Endogenous Anticoagulant and Protective Factor in Venous Thrombosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
This study identifies ESM1 as an endogenous anticoagulant that modulates venous thrombosis. It shows that ESM1 deficiency triggers vascular occlusion in zebrafish and mice, whereas its restoration or overexpression prolongs clot‐formation time. Mechanistic analyses reveal that ESM1 activates HCII through its dermatan‐sulfate chain, uncovering a ...

Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans Are Associated with the Lesions of Alzheimer\u27s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) are extracellular matrix proteins inhibitory to neurite outgrowth in vitro and correlated with decreased neurite outgrowth after CNS injury.

Concise Review: Stem/progenitor cell proteoglycans decorated with 7-D-4, 4-C-3, and 3-B-3(-) chondroitin sulfate motifs are morphogenetic markers of tissue development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This study reviewed the occurrence of chondroitin sulfate (CS) motifs 4‐C‐3, 7‐D‐4, and 3‐B‐3(‐), which are expressed by progenitor cells in tissues undergoing morphogenesis.

Chondroitinase Versus Papain Digestion Leads to Different Outcome for In Vitro Simulation of Degenerated Discs

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Chondroitinase ABC and papain similarly alter disc biomechanics and increase injectable volume, but produce fundamentally different structural morphologies. Papain induces cavities, whereas chondroitinase preserves tissue integrity. Hydrogel distributions differ—cloud‐like for chABC, monolithic for papain—supporting chondroitinase as a degeneration and

Arterial heparan sulfate is negatively associated with hyperglycemia and atherosclerosis in diabetic monkeys

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2004
Background Arterial proteoglycans are implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by their ability to trap plasma lipoproteins in the arterial wall and by their influence on cellular migration, adhesion and proliferation.

Possible role for cell-surface carbohydrate-binding molecules in lymphocyte recirculation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
We are investigating the hypothesis that carbohydrate-binding molecules on the cell surface are involved in the recirculation of lymphocytes from the bloodstream into lymphoid organs.

Development of affinity-based delivery of NGF from a chondroitin sulfate biomaterial. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of the extracellular matrix in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Chondroitin sulfate is upregulated at injury, thus methods to promote neurite extension through chondroitin sulfate-rich matrices and
