It has been demonstrated that, in the bone extracellular matrix (ECM), integrins and growth factor receptors (GFRs) engage in synergistic signaling to guide bone healing and regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies using ECM‐derived peptides to recreate the cellular microenvironment and harness synergistic ...

Transmembrane DomainDependent Functional Oligomerization of Syndecans
Cell surface adhesion receptors of the syndecan family initiate intracellular events through clustering of receptors. This crucial clustering occurs through receptor dimerization or oligomerization, which is mediated by receptor transmembrane domains ...

Heparin-binding growth-associated molecule (HB-GAM) in activity-dependent neuronal plasticity in hippocampus [PDF]
Cell adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules play a significant role in neuronal plasticity both during development and in the adult. Plastic changes in which ECM components are implicated may underlie important nervous system functions, such ...

Novel interactions of transglutaminase-2 with heparan sulphate proteoglycans: reflection on physiological implications [PDF]
This mini-review brings together information from publications and recent conference proceedings that have shed light on the biological interaction between transglutaminase-2 and heparan sulphate proteoglycans. We subsequently draw hypothesis of possible

Engineered Bacteria‐Vesicle Delivered Lactate Reprogramming Boosts Tumor Radiosensitivity
We engineered a bacterial‐vesicular dual‐delivery platform that targets LOx to colorectal tumors, enabling lactate clearance, immune microenvironment remodeling, and microbiota modulation. This microbe–metabolism synergistic strategy effectively sensitizes colorectal cancer to radiotherapy, offering a promising approach to overcome radioresistance ...

The current study characterized temporal changes in glomerular gene expression, pathology, and biomarkers in a mouse model of hypertension‐accelerated diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Progressive albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis were paralleled by dynamic transcriptomic changes associated withmetabolic dysfunction, extracellular matrix remodeling, and ...

Syndecans reside in sphingomyelin-enriched low-density fractions of the plasma membrane isolated from a parathyroid cell line. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are one of the basic constituents of plasma membranes. Specific molecular interactions between HSPGs and a number of extracellular ligands have been reported.

Variations in the Peritrophic Matrix Composition of Heparan Sulphate from the Tsetse Fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans [PDF]
Tsetse flies are the principal insect vectors of African trypanosomes—sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in cattle. One of the tsetse fly species, Glossina morsitans morsitans, is host to the parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, a major cause of African ...

Biomarkers of Lupus Nephritis Histopathology: Where Do We Stand?
Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) is characterized by a variable disease course, necessitating continuous monitoring. There is an urgent need to identify noninvasive biomarkers. By reviewing and critically assessing the quality of existing studies on LN biomarkers correlating with histopathology, we here explore the challenges in promoting their use in ...

Physiological and anatomical aspects of the reproduction of mice with reduced Syndecan-1 expression
Background Syndecan-1 is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan acting as a co-receptor for cytokines and growth factors mediating developmental, immunological and angiogenic processes.
