The red module may be beneficial in aging via the preferential degranulation of mast cells; release of glucosamines, heparin (a glycosaminoglycan) and histamine, which induce vasodilatation ...
With oncofetal CS being a broadly expressed target across solid tumor models, we decided to explore this glycosaminoglycan as a target for CAR Tcell therapy. We first tested the levels of oncofetal CS ...
Recent research has uncovered a pivotal role for hyaluronic acid (aka hyaluronan, HA), a glycosaminoglycan found in the extracellular matrix of tissues like cartilage, in this immune modulation.
Natural scaffolds are made up of protein or carbohydrates with particular biochemical, mechanical, and structural properties. They can be derived from plant or animal sources, and are mostly found ...
Advances in molecular and cell biology have led to an expansion in our knowledge and understanding of the processes involved in wound healing. We review existing and potential therapies modulating ...
They bind to a type of glycosaminoglycan commonly expressed by cancer cells but not by healthy cells. This makes them well suited for delivering toxic payloads to tumors while leaving normal ...
