Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are important constituents of human glycome. They are negatively charged unbranched polysaccharides that are usually covalently attached to proteins, forming glycan-protein conjugates, called proteoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans play critical roles in numerous biological processes throughout individual development and are also ...

Glycosaminoglycans in biomedicine [PDF]
WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, 2013 AbstractGlycosaminoglycans (GAGs) compose one of four classes of mammalian biopolymers, and are arguably the most complex. The research areas of glycobiology, glycopolymers, and the use of GAGs within tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have grown exponentially during the past decade.

Glycosaminoglycans and infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2016 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex linear polysaccharides expressed in intracellular compartments, at the cell surface, and in the extracellular environment where they interact with various molecules to regulate many cellular processes implicated in health and disease. Subversion of GAGs is a pathogenic strategy shared by a wide variety of microbial

Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2018 In this editorial to MDPI Pharmaceuticals special issue “Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans” we describe in outline the common structural features of glycosaminoglycans and the characteristics of proteoglycans, including the intracellular proteoglycan, serglycin, cell-surface proteoglycans, like syndecans and glypicans, and the extracellular matrix ...

Glycosaminoglycans and the peritoneaum [PDF]
Nephrology, 2002 SUMMARY: The introduction of peritoneal dialysis (PD) over two decades ago has allowed us to manipulate the peritoneal membrane to perform as a continuous dialysing organ. to maximize the efficacy of solute transport and waste removal, conventional PD fluids require unphysiological concentrations of glucose to provide the osmotic drive, lactate to ...

Glycosaminoglycans and Their Mimetics [PDF]
Molecules, 2016 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, polyanionic polysaccharides that are ubiquitous on the mammalian cell surface and in the extracellular matrix and are generally found attached to a protein core as part of a proteoglycan.[...]

Glycosaminoglycans and Glycosaminoglycan Mimetics in Cancer and Inflammation [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of biomolecules expressed virtually on all mammalian cells and usually covalently attached to proteins, forming proteoglycans. They are present not only on the cell surface, but also in the intracellular milieu and extracellular matrix.

Glycosaminoglycan–Protein Interactions: The First Draft of the Glycosaminoglycan Interactome [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2020 The six mammalian glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparin, heparan sulfate, hyaluronan, and keratan sulfate, are linear polysaccharides. Except for hyaluronan, they are sulfated to various extent, and covalently attached to proteins to form proteoglycans.

Glycosaminoglycan Functionalized Nanoparticles Exploit Glycosaminoglycan Functions
, 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.
