Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.

Activation of cutaneous innate defense by glycosaminoglycans [PDF]

, 2006
Glycosaminoglycans are ubiquitously expressed on cell surfaces and are an essential component of the extracellular matrix. These linear carbohydrate chains may be linked to a protein backbone or associated with other matrix molecules. Following injury or

Cardiac morphological and morphometric analysis of Ardea alba

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widely distributed heron species whose cardiovascular morphology remains poorly described. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac morphology and morphometry of adult A. alba. Ten specimens were analyzed using radiographic, morphometric, histological, scanning electron microscopy, and three‐dimensional ...

Relationship of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and cholesterol content in normal and arteriosclerotic human aorta.

, 1989
Sulfated glycosaminoglycans were extracted from arteriosclerotic and adjacent nonarteriosclerotic areas of human aortas from persons ages 28 to 83 years; the glycosaminoglycans were compared with the cholesterol and triglyceride content of the tissues ...

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Infusion rate adjustment in enzyme replacement therapy with pabinafusp alfa for mucopolysaccharidosis II

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) requires long‐term, weekly intravenous infusions often lasting over 3 h each time, which can burden paediatric patients and caregivers and negatively affect their quality of life and treatment compliance.

Acidic glycosaminoglycans and laminin-1 in [PDF]

, 1997
Deposition of glycosaminoglycans and laminin-1 in the renal corpuscles of the kidneys of mylencephalic blebs, 'blebs', (my) and normal C57BLl 65 mice was compared in embryonic, neonatal (newbom to approximately two days old) and adult animals ...

Magnetoelastic Cell Monitoring System for Evaluating the Effects of Surface Chemistry on the Performance of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recent clinical adoption of cell therapies has increased the need for more efficient, robust, and reproducible manufacturing technologies. Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), a major component of the cell and immunotherapeutic market, remain challenging to manufacture at scale because they require surface attachment and are highly ...

Use of glycosaminoglycans to increase efficiency of long-term continuous peritoneal dialysis.

, 1995
Long-term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) frequently induces progressive structural changes in the peritoneal membrane, leading to dialysis failure. Because heparin and glycosaminoglycans favourably remodel anatomical barriers exposed to
