Evasins: Biology and Therapeutic Potential of Broad‐Spectrum Chemokine Inhibitors

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Ticks are haematophagous parasites that rely on uninterrupted bloodmeals for survival and need an effective strategy to suppress the host inflammatory response. Leukocyte recruitment is a chemokine‐mediated hallmark of inflammation, which ticks counteract via anti‐chemokine proteins in their saliva named evasins.

Identification and Action Patterns of Two Chondroitin Sulfate Sulfatases From a Marine Bacterium Photobacterium sp. QA16

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS) is a kind of sulfated polyanionic, linear polysaccharide belonging to glycosaminoglycan. CS/DS sulfatases, which specifically hydrolyze sulfate groups from CS/DS oligo-/polysaccharides, are potential tools ...

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, Volume 200, Issue 9, Page 2110-2117, September 2026.
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 ...

Isolation, N-glycosylations and Function of a Hyaluronidase-Like Enzyme from the Venom of the Spider Cupiennius salei. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Hyaluronidases are important venom components acting as spreading factor of toxic compounds. In several studies this spreading effect was tested on vertebrate tissue. However, data about the spreading activity on invertebrates, the main prey organisms of
