Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Characterization of PmHS2 glycosyltransferases for the controlled synthesis of heparosan : a precursor of heparin and heparan sulfate [PDF]
, 2011 Heparin (Hep), a highly sulfated and complex glycosaminoglycan polysaccharides, is worldwide used as an anticoagulant compound to prevent blood clotting during surgery.

Design and synthesis of active heparan sulfate-based probes [PDF]
, 2015 A chemoenzymatic approach for synthesizing heparan sulfate oligosaccharides with a reactive diazoacetyl saccharide residue is reported. The resultant oligosaccharides were demonstrated to serve as specific inhibitors for heparan sulfate sulfotransferases,

The Enzymatic Degradation of Heparan Sulfate [PDF]
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2017 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparan sulfate (HS) interact with a number of factors in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and as a consequence play a key role in the metabolic processes occurring within the cell. The dynamic synthesis and degradation of HS (and all GAGs) are necessary for ensuring that optimal chains are present for these functions ...

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

Accumulation of Ym1 and formation of intracellular crystalline bodies in alveolar macrophages lacking heparanase [PDF]
, 2010 Heparanase is a heparan sulfate (HS) degrading endoglucuronidase that has been implicated in cell migration and inflammatory conditions. Here we used mice deficient of heparanase (Hpse−/−) to study the impact of heparanase on airway leukocytes.

Molecular Modelling of the Complex Polysaccharide Heparan Sulphate [PDF]
Heparan Sulphate plays an important role in many life processes and so an understanding of its role as a universal co-receptor is of great importance. Traditionally oligosaccharides derived from the related molecule heparin have been at the forefront of

Endothelial Heparan Sulfate in Angiogenesis [PDF]
, 2010 Heparan sulfate (HS) is a linear polysaccharide composed of 50-200 glucosamine and uronic acid (glucuronic acid or iduronic acid) disaccharide repeats with epimerization and various sulfation modifications. HS is covalently attached to core proteins to form HS-proteoglycans.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To identify inflammatory analytes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma associated with cognitive decline in cognitively normal (CN) older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods In a longitudinal study of 118 CN older adults (65–80 years, 54% APOE ε4, 26% preclinical AD), 1331 CSF and 1501 plasma analytes were ...

The Nature of Cell‐Penetrating Poly(disulfide)s
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The mode of action of cell‐penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) is elucidated to understand thiol‐mediated uptake (TMU) in general and guide future efforts to control cellular entry for chemicals delivery and pathogen defense. ABSTRACT Cell‐penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) are the most popular thiol‐mediated uptake (TMU) tools for delivering attached
