Ultraviolet irradiation induces the accumulation of chondroitin sulfate, but not other glycosaminoglycans, in human skin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Ultraviolet (UV) light alters cutaneous structure and function. Prior work has shown loss of dermal hyaluronan after UV-irradiation of human skin, yet UV exposure increases total glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in mouse models.

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cryopreservation, biobanking, and in vitro propagation of cells from endangered species represent key strategies for advancing biodiversity conservation. The Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), a flagship avian species of the Brazilian Pantanal, is among the critically vulnerable taxa that stand to benefit significantly from such ...

Collagens and proteoglycans of the corneal extracellular matrix
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003 The cornea is a curved and transparent structure that provides the initial focusing of a light image into the eye. It consists of a central stroma that constitutes 90% of the corneal depth, covered anteriorly with epithelium and posteriorly with ...

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans as Emerging Players in Synaptic Specificity [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Neural circuits consist of distinct neuronal cell types connected in specific patterns. The specificity of these connections is achieved in a series of sequential developmental steps that involve the targeting of neurites, the identification of synaptic partners, and the formation of specific types of synapses.

Ontogeny of RSPO1, FOXL2, and RUNX1 during ovarian differentiation in the marsupial tammar wallaby
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background RSPO1 and FOXL2 are female sex‐determining genes involved in the differentiation and organization of the ovary in some eutherian mammals. Mutations or loss of function of these genes are associated with partial to full sex reversal in mice, humans, and goats.

Proteoglycans and neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex during development and disease
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and heparan sulfate proteoglycans are major constituents of the extracellular matrix and the cell surface in the brain. Proteoglycans bind with many proteins including growth factors, chemokines, axon guidance molecules,

Progress in the use of adeno-associated viral vectors for gene therapy [PDF]
, 2004 The development of safe and efficient gene transfer vectors is crucial for the success of gene therapy trials. A viral vector system promising to meet these requirements is based on the apathogenic adeno-associated virus (AAV-2), a member of the ...
