Group A Streptococcus interacts with glycosaminoglycans via M proteins to modulate bacterial adherence in vitro

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Interactions between bacteria and the extracellular matrix are a prerequisite for colonisation and infection. Phylogenetically diverse M proteins of group A Streptococcus (GAS) can selectively bind sulfated glycosaminoglycans with high affinity. M protein‐mediated recruitment of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate was shown to increase GAS ...

Glycosaminoglycans and Glycosaminoglycan Mimetics in Cancer and Inflammation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of biomolecules expressed virtually on all mammalian cells and usually covalently attached to proteins, forming proteoglycans.

Endothelial glycocalyx degradation during sepsis: Causes and consequences

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2021
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 ...

Diversity and development of the hemibacula of croaking geckos (Sphaerodactylidae: Aristelliger)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos in the genus Aristelliger exhibit enigmatic mineralized elements in their hemipenes, called hemibacula. We examined hemibacula of every species of Aristelliger using μCT, clearing and staining, and histology. We found hemibacula exhibit lineage‐specific morphology, isometric growth after sexual maturity, and are composed of mineralized ...

Collagen organisation in the fibrous joint capsules in the digits of the human hand

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The function of the finger joints is important for daily life. In this review of the literature, we consider the role of collagen and its organization within the fibrous finger joint capsules of the interphalangeal (IP) joints and investigate the relationships between collagen orientation and joint function. Abstract Normal function of the hand and, in

Avian neural crest cell migration is diversely regulated by the two major hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans PG-M/versican and aggrecan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
It has been proposed that hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans play an important role as guiding cues during neural crest (NC) cell migration, but their precise function has not been elucidated.

Isolation and characterization of a heptaglycosylceramide from bovine erythrocyte membranes.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1979
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.

Overexpression of Dehydrogenase/Reductase 9 Predicts Poor Response to Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy and Poor Prognosis in Rectal Cancer Patients

open access: yesPathology and Oncology Research, 2022
Objective: To reduce the risk of locoregional recurrence, the addition of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is recommended before surgical management for rectal cancer patients. However, despite identical tumor histology, individual patient

Upcycling Eggshell Matrix for Sustainable Production of Glycosaminoglycans

open access: yesBiopolymers, Volume 116, Issue 5, September 2025.
An Overview of Glycosaminoglycans Recovery Techniques and Their Diverse Applications. ABSTRACT Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are biomolecules with applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries. However, traditional GAG sources, such as animal tissues and marine organisms, present imminent challenges, including structural ...
