End-functionalized glycopolymers as mimetics of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans [PDF]
Glycosaminoglycans are sulfated polysaccharides that play important roles in fundamental biological processes, such as cell division, viral invasion, cancer and neuroregeneration.

Glycosaminoglycans and infection.
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 ...

Interaction of Zika Virus Envelope Protein with Glycosaminoglycans.
In February 2016, the World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on Zika Virus (ZIKV), because of its association with severe fetal anomalies of congenitally infected humans.

Chemokine‐Capturing Wound Contact Layer Rescues Dermal Healing
Excessive inflammation often impedes the healing of chronic wounds. Scavenging of chemokines by multiarmed poly(ethylene glycol)‐glycosaminoglycan (starPEG‐GAG) hydrogels has recently been shown to support regeneration in a diabetic mouse chronic skin ...

Background: The process of testicular descent requires androgen and insulin-like 3, hormones secreted by fetal Leydig cells. Knowledge concerning distinct and common functions of these hormones in regulating development of the fetal gubernaculum remains ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis 1 (MPS 1) is a group of rare lysosomal genetic disorders resulting from the accumulation of undegraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) leading to multiorgan damage. Neurological symptoms vary from mild to severe.

Heterogeneous structure and dynamics of water in a hydrated collagen microfibril [PDF]
Collagen type I is well-known for its outstanding mechanical properties which it inherits from its hierarchical structure. Collagen type I fibrils may be viewed as an heterogeneous material made of protein, macromolecules (such as glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans) and water. Water content modulates the properties of these heterofibrils.
