Heparan sulfate proteoglycans and cancer [PDF]
British Journal of Cancer, 2001 Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are widely distributed in mammalian tissues and involved in a number of processes related to malignancy. They are composed of a core protein to which chains of the glycosaminoglycan, heparan sulfate (HS), are attached.

Cell Surface Glycosaminoglycans as Receptors for Adhesion of Candida spp. to Corneal Cells
Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2022 The most common causal agents of fungal keratitis are yeasts of the Candida genus. Adhesion constitutes the first stage of pathogenesis. Previous studies have shown that glycosaminoglycans from the corneal cell surface play an essential role in bacterial

Heparan sulfates and heparins: similar compounds performing the same functions in vertebrates and invertebrates? [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 The distribution and structure of heparan sulfate and heparin are briefly reviewed. Heparan sulfate is a ubiquitous compound of animal cells whose structure has been maintained throughout evolution, showing an enormous variability regarding the relative ...

The Sea as a Rich Source of Structurally Unique Glycosaminoglycans and Mimetics
Microorganisms, 2017 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are sulfated glycans capable of regulating various biological and medical functions. Heparin, heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate and hyaluronan are the principal classes of GAGs found in ...

Heparan sulfate mimetics can efficiently mobilize long-term hematopoietic stem cells
Haematologica, 2012 Background Although mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells can be achieved with a combination of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and plerixafor (AMD3100), improving approaches for hematopoietic progenitor cell ...
