In Silico Structural Analysis of Human β‐Glucuronidase for Antibody–Drug Conjugates Optimization
ABSTRACT Human β‐glucuronidase (HGUSB), a key lysosomal glycosyl hydrolase for the degradation pathway of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), plays a crucial role in cell proliferation and inflammation, making it a promising target for novel therapeutic strategies including antibody‐drug conjugates (ADCs) with β‐glucuronic linkers.

Identification and Signature Sequences of Bacterial Δ4,5Hexuronate-2-O-Sulfatases
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sulfatases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of sulfate esters from GAGs, belong to a large and conserved sulfatase family. Bacterial GAG sulfatases are essential in the process of sulfur cycling and are useful for the structural ...

Assessment of musculoskeletal abnormalities in children with mucopolysaccharidoses using pGALS [PDF]
Background - Children with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) often have musculoskeletal (MSK) abnormalities. Paediatric Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine (pGALS), is a simple MSK assessment validated in school-age children to detect abnormal joints.

Bench-to-bedside review: The role of glycosaminoglycans in respiratory disease. [PDF]
The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a significant role in the mechanical behaviour of the lung parenchyma. The ECM is composed of a three-dimensional fibre mesh that is filled with various macromolecules, among which are the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs ...

Differential expression of ADAMTS -1, -4, -5 and TIMP -3 in rat spinal cord at different stages of acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [PDF]
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of inflammatory demyelination, a pathological event common to multiple sclerosis (MS). During CNS inflammation there are alterations in the extracellular matrix (ECM).
