Glycosaminoglycan distribution in the rat uterine cervix during the estrous cycle
Clinics, 2010 OBJECTIVE: To analyze the amount of glycosaminoglycans in the uterine cervix during each phase of the rat estrous cycle. DESIGN: Based on vaginal smears, forty female, regularly cycling rats were divided into four groups (n = 10 for each group): GI ...

Diagnostics, 2021 Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and mucolipidosis (ML II/III) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) that occur due to a dysfunction of the lysosomal hydrolases responsible for the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein aggregates by cell surface heparan sulfate depends on aggregate conformation and cell type. [PDF]
, 2017 Amyloid aggregates found in the brain of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, are thought to spread to increasingly larger areas of the brain through a prion-like seeding mechanism.

On Top of the Alveolar Epithelium: Surfactant and the Glycocalyx [PDF]
, 2020 Gas exchange in the lung takes place via the air-blood barrier in the septal walls of alveoli. The tissue elements that oxygen molecules have to cross are the alveolar epithelium, the interstitium and the capillary endothelium.

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.

Mast cell glycosaminoglycans [PDF]
Glycoconjugate Journal, 2016 Mast cells contain granules packed with a mixture of proteins that are released on degranulation. The proteoglycan serglycin carries an array of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains, sometimes heparin, sometimes chondroitin or dermatan sulphate. Tight packing of granule proteins is dependent on the presence of serglycin carrying these GAGs.

Natural Presentation of Glycosaminoglycans in Synthetic Matrices for 3D Angiogenesis Models
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long, linear polysaccharides that occur in the extracellular matrix of higher organisms and are either covalently attached to protein cores, as proteoglycans or in free form.
