Mechanistic insights into molecular evolution of species-specific differential glycosaminoglycan binding surfaces in growth-related oncogene chemokines [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines involved in leucocyte trafficking to infected tissue. Growth-related oncogene (GRO) chemokines namely CXCL1, CXCL2 and CXCL3 are neutrophil activating chemokines sharing a conserved three-dimensional structure, but ...

Mast cell clones: a model for the analysis of cellular maturation. [PDF]

, 1982
Cloned mouse mast cells resemble, by ultrastructure, immature mast cells observed in vivo. These mast cell clones can be grown in the absence of any other cells, facilitating direct investigations of their biochemistry and function.

Metabolomics in psoriatic disease: pilot study reveals metabolite differences in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. [PDF]

, 2014
ImportanceWhile "omics" studies have advanced our understanding of inflammatory skin diseases, metabolomics is mostly an unexplored field in dermatology.ObjectiveWe sought to elucidate the pathogenesis of psoriatic diseases by determining the differences

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.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Influence of combined nitrate and fluoride intoxication on connective tissue disorders in rats gastric mucosa [PDF]

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2019
Introduction. Certain regions in Europe and Ukraine have high concentration of fluorides in drinking waters. Highly developed agriculture can result in increased concentration of nitrates in ground and drinking waters. Therefore, their combined excessive

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

Early‐life high‐fat diet exposure increases Achilles tendon stiffness and induces transcriptomic alterations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans in human vocal fold lamina propria

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology
Introduction: The distribution, concentration and function of glycosaminoglycans in the various vocal fold tissues are still unclear. Objective: To evaluate the distribution and concentration of sulfated glycosaminoglycans in different layers of the ...

Regional Variation in Androgen Receptor Expression and Biomechanical Properties May Contribute to Cryptorchidism Susceptibility in the LE/orl Rat

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
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 ...
