A monoclonal antibody against a laminin-heparan sulfate proteoglycan complex perturbs cranial neural crest migration in vivo [PDF]
INO (inhibitor of neurite outgrowth) is a monoclonal antibody that blocks axon outgrowth, presumably by functionally blocking a laminin-heparan sulfate proteoglycan complex (Chiu, A. Y., W. D. Matthew, and P. H. Patterson. 1986. J. Cell Biol.

Wingless, Hedgehog and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans [PDF]
Several recent papers published in Development challenge some of the previous views published by our group and others that: (1) the Drosophila glypican molecules Dally and Dally-like protein (Dlp) are involved in Wingless (Wg) signaling; and (2) Tout-velu/Ext/Ttv affects Hedgehog (Hh) but not ...

Cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein aggregates by cell surface heparan sulfate depends on aggregate conformation and cell type. [PDF]
Amyloid aggregates found in the brain of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, are thought to spread to increasingly larger areas of the brain through a prion-like seeding mechanism.

Regulation of stem cell fate by HSPGs: implication in hair follicle cycling
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are part of proteoglycan family. They are composed of heparan sulfate (HS)-type glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains covalently linked to a core protein.

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans mediate prion-like α-synuclein toxicity in Parkinson’s in vivo models
This study offers new Caenorhabditis elegans models in which feeding with α-synuclein pre-formed fibrils results in prion-like aggregation of host α-synuclein and dopamine neuron degeneration, and these disease phenotypes are regulated by the heparan ...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans in glomerular inflammation [PDF]
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are glycoproteins consisting of a core protein to which linear heparan sulfate side chains are covalently attached. These heparan sulfate side chains can be modified at different positions by several enzymes, which include N-deacetylases, N- and O-sulfotransferases, and an epimerase.

Proteoglycan neofunctions: regulation of inflammation and autophagy in cancer biology. [PDF]
Inflammation and autophagy have emerged as prominent issues in the context of proteoglycan signaling. In particular, two small, leucine-rich proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, play pivotal roles in the regulation of these vital cellular pathways and ...

Glycosaminoglycans in the human cornea: age-related changes [PDF]
AIM: To investigate possible age-related changes in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the human cornea. The substances today called GAGs were previously referred to as mucopolysaccharides.

Heparan Sulfate and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Cancer Initiation and Progression [PDF]
Heparan sulfate (HS) are complex unbranched carbohydrate chains that are heavily modified by sulfate and exist either conjugated to proteins or as free, unconjugated chains. Proteins with covalently bound Heparan sulfate chains are termed Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans (HSPGs). Both HS and HSPGs bind to various growth factors and act as co-receptors for
