The diffusion of viruses at the cell membrane is essential to reach a suitable entry site and initiate subsequent internalization. Although many viruses take advantage of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) to bind to the cell surface, little is known about the ...

Dermal Glycosaminoglycans in Psoriasis
Six dermal specimens from active plaques of psoriasis were subjected to biochemical analysis of glycosaminoglycans. The technique used consisted of digestion of the dermal samples with papain and trypsin, uronic acid determination by the carbazol method and identification of hyaluronic acid (HA) and dermatan sulfate (DS) by cellulose acetate ...

The Circulating Glycosaminoglycan Signature of Respiratory Failure in Critically Ill Adults*
Background: Endothelial glycocalyx degradation contributes to the pathogenesis of critical illness. Results: Mechanically ventilated subjects exhibited plasma glycocalyx breakdown signatures (glycosaminoglycan fragments) characteristic of direct versus ...

Background: Chemokines oligomerize upon glycosaminoglycans to establish chemokine gradients. Results: Monomeric monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-3/CCL7 has a dense network of glycosaminoglycan-binding epitopes that provide sufficient affinity for ...

Age-Related Molecular Polymorphism of the Heterodimeric Proteoglycan Bisdermican
Bisdermican (PG760) is a large, heterodimeric, dermatan sulfate proteoglycan found in selected basement membranes, smooth muscle cell layers, and different extracellular matrices.
