Microglial subtypes: diversity within the microglial community [PDF]
, 2019 Microglia are brain-resident macrophages forming the first active immune barrier in the central nervous system. They fulfill multiple functions across development and adulthood and under disease conditions. Current understanding revolves around microglia

Geochemistry constrains global hydrology on Early Mars [PDF]
, 2019 Ancient hydrology is recorded by sedimentary rocks on Mars. The most voluminous sedimentary rocks that formed during Mars' Hesperian period are sulfate-rich rocks, explored by the $Opportunity$ rover from 2004-2012 and soon to be investigated by the $Curiosity$ rover at Gale crater.

A review on an imperative by-product: Glycosaminoglycans- A holistic approach
Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2023 Glycosaminoglycan is a generic term for a class of minor but significant components of the body. The extraction, application, and functionalization of GAGs are essential to explore owing to their biological significance.

GAG-DB, the New Interface of the Three-Dimensional Landscape of Glycosaminoglycans
Biomolecules, 2020 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex linear polysaccharides. GAG-DB is a curated database that classifies the three-dimensional features of the six mammalian GAGs (chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparin, heparan sulfate, hyaluronan, and keratan ...

The Affinity of the Sulfate- and Ether-Containing Surface-Active Ionic Liquids to Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen Fluoride, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Water [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The development of novel task-specific ionic liquids (ILs) represents an essential challenge in modern organic and physical chemistries. Recently we reported surface-active ILs contained the two well-known organic cations (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium and tetrabutylammonium) and the two surface-active anions (lauryl sulfate, lauryl ether sulfate).

Proteomics for rejection diagnosis in renal transplant patients: where are we now? [PDF]
, 2016 Rejection is one of the key factors that determine the long-term allograft function and survival in renal transplant patients. Reliable and timely diagnosis is important to treat rejection as early as possible.

Spatial and temporal changes in the distribution of proteoglycans during avian neural crest development [PDF]
, 1991 In this study, we describe the distribution of various classes of proteoglycans and their potential matrix ligand, hyaluronan, during neural crest development in the trunk region of the chicken embryo.

Pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms: Possible role of differential production of proteoglycans by smooth muscle cells [PDF]
, 1998 Purpose: In vivo and in vitro observations strongly suggest that marked differences exist in the phenotype, growth, and matrix-producing capabilities of distinct smooth muscle cell subpopulations.
