The endothelial glycocalyx: composition, functions, and visualization [PDF]
This review aims at presenting state-of-the-art knowledge on the composition and functions of the endothelial glycocalyx. The endothelial glycocalyx is a network of membrane-bound proteoglycans and glycoproteins, covering the endothelium luminally.

A scalable triazine‐based covalent functionalization strategy of black phosphorus nanosheets provides controlled P‐N surface chemistry with enhanced grafting density in the presence of a phase‐transfer catalyst. As a representative example, BP‐sulfated polymer conjugates exhibit strong in vitro antiviral activity against enveloped viruses and ...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans regulate autophagy in Drosophila [PDF]
Heparan sulfate-modified proteoglycans (HSPGs) are important regulators of signaling and molecular recognition at the cell surface and in the extracellular space. Disruption of HSPG core proteins, HS-synthesis, or HS-degradation can have profound effects on growth, patterning, and cell survival.

Proteinase activity regulation by glycosaminoglycans [PDF]
There are few reports concerning the biological role and the mechanisms of interaction between proteinases and carbohydrates other than those involved in clotting. It has been shown that the interplay of enzymes and glycosaminoglycans is able to modulate

Abstract The APOE4 gene, particularly the ε4 allele, is linked to susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease, and periodontitis can cause pathological changes in multiple organs, but combined effects of these conditions and the impact of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α regulation on the combined effects remain unclear.

Chemical Tumor Biology of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans [PDF]
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) play vital roles in every step of tumor progression allowing cancer cells to proliferate, escape from immune response, invade neighboring tissues, and metastasize to distal sites away from the primary site. Several cancers including breast, lung, brain, pancreatic, skin, and colorectal cancers show aberrant ...

Fibroblast EXT1-levels influence tumor cell proliferation and migration in composite spheroids.
BackgroundStromal fibroblasts are important determinants of tumor cell behavior. They act to condition the tumor microenvironment, influence tumor growth, support tumor angiogenesis and affect tumor metastasis. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans, present both

Inhibition of Heparan Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Biosynthesis [PDF]
Proteoglycans (PGs) are composed of a protein moiety and a complex glycosaminoglycan (GAG) polysaccharide moiety. GAG chains are responsible for various biological activities. GAG chains are covalently attached to serine residues of the core protein. The first step in PG biosynthesis is xylosylation of certain serine residues of the core protein.

Role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in optic disc and stalk morphogenesis [PDF]
Background Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are important for embryonic development via the regulation of gradient formation and signaling of multiple growth factors and morphogens.

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...
