Spatial immune heterogeneity in a mouse tumor model after immunotherapy
Spatial immune heterogeneity in the tumor microenvironment and its drivers in a mouse model of tumors induced by human papillomaviruses were investigated following immunotherapy. Gene expression was determined by RNA sequencing and mutations by whole exome sequencing in different tumor areas.

Glycosaminoglycans and Glycosaminoglycan Mimetics in Cancer and Inflammation [PDF]
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of biomolecules expressed virtually on all mammalian cells and usually covalently attached to proteins, forming proteoglycans.

Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in mouse and rat plasma by the Heparin Red mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]
Sulfated polysaccharides constitute a large and complex group of macromolecules which possess a wide range of important biological properties. Many of them hold promise as new therapeutics, but determination of their blood levels during pharmacokinetic studies can be challenging.

Transient Sulfate Aerosols as a Signature of Exoplanet Volcanism [PDF]
Geological activity is thought to be important for the origin of life and for maintaining planetary habitability. We show that transient sulfate aerosols could be a signature of exoplanet volcanism, and therefore a geologically active world. A detection of transient aerosols, if linked to volcanism, could thus aid in habitability evaluations of the ...

Role of the Extracellular Matrix in Cancer: Insights into Tumor Progression and Therapy
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is pivotal in cancer progression, influencing tumor growth, metastasis, and therapy resistance. This paper explores ECM remodeling, highlighting components like collagens and proteoglycans, their impact on immune evasion, and emerging therapies targeting ECM mechanics and composition.

Coadsorption of Copper and Sulfate on Au(111) Electrodes: Monte Carlo Simulation of a Lattice-Gas Model [PDF]
We report ground-state calculations and Monte Carlo simulations for a lattice-gas model of the underpotential deposition of copper on Au(111) in sulfate-containing electrolytes. In a potential range of approximately 100$\sim$150 mV, this system exhibits a $(\sqrt3\!\times\!\sqrt3)$ mixed phase with 2/3 monolayer (ML) copper and 1/3 ML sulfate.

Recommendations for the management of MPS VI: systematic evidence- and consensus-based guidance. [PDF]
IntroductionMucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VI or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (253200) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency in N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B).

The Dermatan Sulfate Proteoglycan Decorin Modulates α2β1 Integrin and the Vimentin Intermediate Filament System during Collagen Synthesis. [PDF]
Decorin, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan harboring a dermatan sulfate chain at its N-terminus, is involved in regulating matrix organization and cell signaling. Loss of the dermatan sulfate of decorin leads to an Ehlers-Danlos syndrome characterized by

Correlations between Chondroitin Sulfate Physicochemical Properties and its in-vitro Absorption and Anti-inflammatory Activity [PDF]
Here, we investigated the influence of physicochemical characteristics of chondroitin sulfate (CS) on its in vitro absorption and anti-inflammatory activity. We used eight different synthetic and natural CS samples with a range of molecular weights (7-35 kDa) and sulfation patterns.
