Chitosanase may enhance anti-fungal defense responses in transgenic tobacco [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Chitosanase is an enzyme, similar to chitinase, capable of hydrolyzing the β-1,4-linkages between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucosamine residues in partially acetylated chitosan polymers found in fungal cell walls.

Glucosamine protects against neuronal but not vascular damage in experimental diabetic retinopathy

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: Glucosamine, an intermetabolite of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), is a widely used nutritional supplement in osteoarthritis patients, a subset of whom also suffer from diabetes. HBP is activated in diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Hyperspectral Raman imaging to understand patterns in dried biofluids in Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy is commonly used to identify biomarkers in biological fluids, often focusing on the outer ring of dried droplets due to molecular accumulation from the coffee ring effect. However, this approach may overlook important spectral information, so hyperspectral Raman mapping is used to analyze the entire droplet and identify optimal ...

Solid-state structure of copper complexes of N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The sorptivity for ions of the Irving-Williams series (Zn2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+) was estimated for the chelate sorbent N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosan cross-linked by nanosecond electron-beam irradiation.

IMPDH2's Central Role in Cellular Growth and Diseases: A Potential Therapeutic Target

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
IMPDH2 is a rate‐limiting enzyme in guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. It plays diverse roles in various physiological and pathological processes: nucleotide metabolism, inflammation, immune function, ribosomal stress. Structural or regulatory alterations in IMPDH2 are linked to significant health issues, and critical relevance in disease progression. We

Magnetic Mixed Micelles Composed of a Non-Ionic Surfactant and Nitroxide Radicals Containing a D-Glucosamine Unit: Preparation, Stability, and Biomedical Application

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2019
Metal-free magnetic mixed micelles (mean diameter: < 20 nm) were prepared by mixing the biocompatible non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 and the non-toxic, hydrophobic pyrrolidine-N-oxyl radicals bearing a D-glucosamine unit in pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered ...
