Endothelial glycocalyx degradation during sepsis: Causes and consequences
The glycocalyx is a ubiquitous structure found on endothelial cells that extends into the vascular lumen. It is enriched in proteoglycans, which are proteins attached to the glycosaminoglycans heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate ...

Clinical Characteristics of a Patient with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA (Morquio Syndrome)
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type IVA (Morquio syndrome) is a hereditary lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase.

Harnessing Free Sulfate Groups in Glycosylation Reactions
The chemical nature of sodium sulfate groups in glycosylation reactions was studied. The findings enabled us to develop alternative synthesis routes for sulfated oligosaccharides. Experiments and calculations suggested that the sodium cation acts as a protecting group in glycosylation reactions.

Glycosaminoglycans and Glycosaminoglycan Mimetics in Cancer and Inflammation [PDF]
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of biomolecules expressed virtually on all mammalian cells and usually covalently attached to proteins, forming proteoglycans.

Common Polymorphisms in Human Langerin Change Specificity for Glycan Ligands [PDF]
Langerin, a C-type lectin on Langerhans cells, mediates carbohydrate-dependent uptake of pathogens in the first step of antigen presentation to the adaptive immune system. Langerin binds a diverse range of carbohydrates including high mannose structures,

Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.

A Mechanistic Model of Annual Sulfate Concentrations in the United States [PDF]
We develop a mechanistic model to analyze the impact of sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants on average sulfate concentrations in the central United States. A multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process is used to approximate the dynamics of the underlying space-time chemical transport process, and its distributional properties are ...

Diagnosing mucopolysaccharidosis IVA [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) activity. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires agreement of

Interactions between sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the adhesin OmcB of Chlamydia species are explored using a surface‐based binding assay and cell assays. Increased sulfation and molecular weight enhance GAG binding and reduce bacterial attachment, with heparin exhibiting superior inhibitory effects.

Isolation and characterization of a heptaglycosylceramide from bovine erythrocyte membranes.
A heptaglycosylceramide was isolated from bovine erythrocyte membranes. The structure was characterized to be Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta1-3)Gal(beta 1-4)Glc-NAc(beta 1-4)al(beta 1-4)GlcCer.
