Characterization of two heparan sulphate-binding sites in the mycobacterial adhesin Hlp
Background The histone-like Hlp protein is emerging as a key component in mycobacterial pathogenesis, being involved in the initial events of host colonization by interacting with laminin and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Heparan sulfates (HS) are linear sulfated polysaccharides that modulate a wide range of physiological and disease-processes. Variations in HS epimerization and sulfation provide enormous structural diversity, which is believed to underpin protein binding

Solving the Amyloid Paradox: Unveiling the Complex Pathogenicity of Amyloid Fibrils
This review addresses the gap between strong evidence for the involvement of amyloid fibrils in neurodegeneration and the failure of anti‐amyloid therapies, a phenomenon herein termed the “amyloid paradox.” To address this paradox, we provide a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of fibrils' pathogenic properties and mechanisms ...

Control of cell division in the adult brain by heparan sulfates in fractones and vascular basement membranes [PDF]
Regulation of cell division in adult tissues and organs requires the coordination of growth factors at the surface of potentially-dividing cells in specific anatomic loci named germinal niches.

A monoclonal antibody that blocks the activity of a neurite regeneration-promoting factor: studies on the binding site and its localization in vivo [PDF]
Work from several laboratories has identified a proteoglycan complex secreted by a variety of non-neuronal cells that can promote neurite regeneration when applied to the surface of culture dishes.

Underpotential deposition of Cu on Au(111) in sulfate-containing electrolytes: a theoretical and experimental study [PDF]
We study the underpotential deposition of Cu on single-crystal Au(111) electrodes in sulfate-containing electrolytes by a combination of computational statistical-mechanics based lattice-gas modeling and experiments. The experimental methods are in situ cyclic voltammetry and coulometry and ex situ Auger electron spectroscopy and low-energy electron ...

ABSTRACT Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous deleterious variants in the EXT1 or EXT2 genes. While the clinical core phenotype is well established and mainly consists of bone deformities, limb length discrepancies, multiple benign bone neoplasms, and increased risk of chondrosarcoma, the ...

Isolation, characterization, and substrate properties of the external limiting membrane from the avian embryonic optic tectum [PDF]
The external limiting membrane of the avian embryonic optic tectum is isolated by mechanically separating the neuronal mesencephalon from the overlying mesenchymal tissue.
