Characterization of Hyaluronidase 4 Involved in the Catabolism of Chondroitin Sulfate
Molecules, 2022 Hyaluronidases (HYALs) are endo-beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases that depolymerize not only hyaluronan but also chondroitin sulfate (CS) at the initial step of their catabolism. Although HYAL1 hydrolyzes both CS and HA, HYAL4 is a CS-specific endoglycosidase.

IFN-Induced PARPs—Sensors of Foreign Nucleic Acids?
Pathogens, 2023 Cells have developed different strategies to cope with viral infections. Key to initiating a defense response against viruses is the ability to distinguish foreign molecules from their own. One central mechanism is the perception of foreign nucleic acids

A single meal has the potential to alter brain oxylipin content. [PDF]
, 2020 Our objective was to determine whether consumption of a single meal has the potential to alter brain oxylipin content. We examined the cerebrum of mice fed a single high-fat/high-sucrose Western meal or a low-fat/low-sucrose control meal, as well as ...

Enhanced Response of a Proteinase K-Based Conductometric Biosensor Using Nanoparticles
Sensors, 2014 Proteinases are involved in a multitude of important physiological processes, such as protein metabolism. For this reason, a conductometric enzyme biosensor based on proteinase K was developed using two types of nanoparticles (gold and magnetic).
