ABSTRACT Despite extensive proof for the tumour‐supporting function of cancer‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), attributions of pathological effects to specific sEV subpopulations are poorly described. In this study, we aimed to characterise a distinct sEV species under the control of Syntenin, a key regulator of endosomal sEV biogenesis ...

One-electron oxidation and reduction of glycosaminoglycan chloramides: a kinetic study. [PDF]
Hypochlorous acid and its acid-base counterpart, hypochlorite ions, produced under inflammatory conditions, may produce chloramides of glycosaminoglycans, these being significant components of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]
Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...

Heparan sulfates are critical regulators of the inhibitory megakaryocyte-platelet receptor G6b-B
The immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM)-containing receptor G6b-B is critical for platelet production and activation. Loss of G6b-B results in severe macrothrombocytopenia, myelofibrosis and aberrant platelet function in mice and humans.

An Investigation into the Protein Composition of the Teneral Glossina morsitans morsitans Peritrophic Matrix. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Tsetse flies serve as biological vectors for several species of African trypanosomes. In order to survive, proliferate and establish a midgut infection, trypanosomes must cross the tsetse fly peritrophic matrix (PM), which is an acellular ...

The role of perlecan and endorepellin in the control of tumor angiogenesis and endothelial cell autophagy. [PDF]
During tumor growth and angiogenesis there is a dynamic remodeling of tissue architecture often accompanied by the release of extracellular matrix constituents full of biological activity.
