Inflammation and Syndecan-4 Shedding from Cardiac Cells in Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Heart Disease
Circulating biomarkers reflecting cardiac inflammation are needed to improve the diagnostics and guide the treatment of heart failure patients. The cardiac production and shedding of the transmembrane proteoglycan syndecan-4 is upregulated by innate ...

Carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction provides adhesion force and specificity for cellular recognition and adhesion [PDF]
Carbohydrates at the cell surface have been proposed as mediators in cell-cell recognition events involved in embryogenesis, metastasis, and other proliferation processes by calcium-dependent carbohydrate to carbohydrate interactions.

The Role of Decorin and Biglycan Signaling in Tumorigenesis
The complex and adaptive nature of malignant neoplasm constitute a major challenge for the development of effective anti-oncogenic therapies. Emerging evidence has uncovered the pivotal functions exerted by the small leucine-rich proteoglycans, decorin ...

Cytokines and proteoglycans [PDF]
Cytokines play an important regulatory role in the metabolism of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are found in plasma membranes, but predominantly in the extra-cellular matrix. In the latter they are quantitatively and qualitatively essential components. Especially in a tissue like cartilage without any blood vessels, the cells are dependent on cytokines ...

Can proteoglycan change in articular cartilage be detected by ultrasound evaluation? [PDF]
This paper assesses the capacity of high-frequency ultrasonic waves for detecting changes in the proteoglycan (PG) content of articular cartilage. 50 cartilage-on-bone samples were exposed to ultrasonic waves via an ultrasound transducer at a frequency ...

A heparan sulfate proteoglycan in developing avian axonal tracts [PDF]
A neuronal heparan sulfate proteoglycan was identified by a panel of four monoclonal antibodies. The antibodies were generated from mice immunized with embryonic chick retina basal lamina (clones 3A12, 3A3, and 9E10) and embryonic chick optic tract ...
