Glycosaminoglycan Functionalized Nanoparticles Exploit Glycosaminoglycan Functions [PDF]
, 2014 Nanoparticles are being explored for a variety of applications including medical imaging, drug delivery, and biochemical detection. Surface functionalization of nanoparticles with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is an attractive strategy that is only starting to be investigated to improve their properties for biological and therapeutic applications.

The glycosaminoglycans of human plasma [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1969 A method is proposed for the measurement of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) on 5-10 ml of plasma. It is based on the adsorption of GAG on small ECTEOLA columns followed by measurement of the hexuronic acid in the NaCl eluates. Routine use of the method has indicated the presence of a GAG fraction that adsorbs readily on ECTEOLA ("free" GAG) and of another ...
