Proteoglycans and Hyaluronan in Normal and Aberrant Lung Development
ABSTRACT Lung development is a tightly regulated process that progresses through five distinct stages: embryonic, pseudoglandular, canalicular, saccular, and alveolar. Each stage is characterized by coordinated cellular interactions and structural changes driven by signals from epithelial, endothelial, and mesenchymal cells.

Age-related nanostructural and nanomechanical changes of individual human cartilage aggrecan monomers and their glycosaminoglycan side chains [PDF]
The nanostructure and nanomechanical properties of aggrecan monomers extracted and purified from human articular cartilage from donors of different ages (newborn, 29 and 38 year old) were directly visualized and quantified via atomic force microscopy ...

Background We aimed to determine whether synovial fluid (SF) biomarkers can predict the progression of articular cartilage damage as determined by arthroscopic evaluation during and after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Identification of the keratan sulfate attachment sites on bovine fibromodulin
The small keratan sulfate-substituted proteoglycan (fibromodulin) from articular cartilage was shown to contain keratan sulfate linked to the core protein through N-glycosidic linkages to residues Asn-109, Asn-147, Asn-182, and Asn-272. Biosynthetic experiments with articular chondrocytes in the presence of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked ...

Integration of clinical data with a genome‐scale metabolic model of the human adipocyte
We evaluated the presence/absence of proteins encoded by 14 077 genes in adipocytes obtained from different tissue samples using immunohistochemistry. By combining this with previously published adipocyte‐specific proteome data, we identified proteins ...

Application of Chondroitin Sulfate Derivatives for Understanding Axonal Guidance in the Nervous System during Development [PDF]
Neuronal axons and their growth cones recognize molecular guidance cues within the local environment, forming axonal pathways to produce precise neuronal networks during nervous system development.

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA or Morquio A syndrome is characterized by the lack of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate-sulfatase and the accumulation of keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate in the lysosomes.

Unique glycosylation of three keratan sulfate proteoglycan isoforms
Recent work demonstrates isoforms of bovine corneal keratan sulfate proteoglycan containing structurally unique core proteins of 25 and 37 kDa (Funderburgh, J., and Conrad, G. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 8297-8303). In the current study, two forms (37A and 37B) of the 37-kDa protein were separated by ion-exchange chromatography after removal of keratan ...

Long-term endurance and safety of elosulfase alfa enzyme replacement therapy in patients with Morquio A syndrome [PDF]
Long-term efficacy and safety of elosulfase alfa enzyme replacement therapy were evaluated in Morquio A patients over 96weeks (reaching 120weeks in total from pre-treatment baseline) in an open-label, multi-center, phase III extension study.

Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans
In this editorial to MDPI Pharmaceuticals special issue “Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans” we describe in outline the common structural features of glycosaminoglycans and the characteristics of proteoglycans, including the intracellular proteoglycan,
