Syndecan-4 knockout leads to reduced extracellular transglutaminase-2 and protects against tubulointerstitial fibrosis [PDF]
, 2013 Transglutaminase type 2 (TG2) is an extracellular matrix crosslinking enzyme with a pivotal role in kidney fibrosis. The interaction of TG2 with the heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 (Sdc4) regulates the cell surface trafficking, localization, and ...

Proteoglycans—Biomarkers and Targets in Cancer Therapy
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Proteoglycans (PGs), important constituents of the extracellular matrix, have been associated with cancer pathogenesis. Their unique structure consisting of a protein core and glycosaminoglycan chains endowed with fine modifications constitutes these ...

Proteoglycans: Road Signs for Neurite Outgrowth
Neural Regeneration Research, 2014 Proteoglycans in the central nervous system play integral roles as “traffic signals” for the direction of neurite outgrowth. This attribute of proteoglycans is a major factor in regeneration of the injured central nervous system.

Matrix Tropism Influences Endometriotic Cell Attachment Patterns
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The influence of substrate stiffness and multicellular coculture on endometriotic cell attachment to extracellular matrix‐laden microarrayed islands is reported. This model investigates early endometriotic cell attachment, aiming to capture “lesion initiation events”.

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

Machine Learning‐Enabled Polymer Discovery for Enhanced Pulmonary siRNA Delivery
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study provides an efficient approach to train a machine learning model by merging heterogeneous literature data to predict suitable polymers for siRNA delivery. Without the need for extensive laboratory synthesis, the machine learning enabled a virtual screening and successfully predicted a polymer that is validated for effective gene silencing in
