Evaluation of urinary glycosaminoglycans and matrix metalloproteinase-7 in lung cancer patients
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013 Lung cancer accounts for one-third of all cancer-related deaths worldwide. Glycosaminoglycans and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) have been found to be involved in cancer.

Modeling extracellular matrix through histo-molecular gradient in NSCLC for clinical decisions
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 Lung cancer still represents a global health problem, being the main type of tumor responsible for cancer deaths. In this context, the tumor microenvironment, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) pose as extremely relevant.

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.[...]

Vascular Dysfunction in Malaria: Understanding the Role of the Endothelial Glycocalyx
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum results in over 400,000 deaths annually, predominantly affecting African children. In addition, non-falciparum species including vivax and knowlesi cause significant morbidity and mortality. Vascular dysfunction is

Reaction of superoxide radicals with glycosaminoglycan chloramides: a kinetic study. [PDF]
, 2013 Hypochlorous acid and its acid-base counterpart, hypochlorite ions, produced under inflammatory conditions, may produce chloramides of glycosaminoglycans, perhaps through the binding of myeloperoxidase directly to the glycosaminoglycans.
