The microvascular endothelial cell monolayer localized at the critical interface between the
blood and vessel wall has the vital functions of regulating tissue fluid balance and supplying …

Transplantation of bone marrow stem cells into spinal cord lesions enhances axonal
regeneration and promotes functional recovery in animal studies. There are two types of …

Increased expression of the proteoglycan, versican is strongly associated with poor outcome
for many different cancers. Depending on the cancer type, versican is expressed by either …

This review analyses the mechanisms by which lung fluid balance is strictly controlled in the
air-blood barrier (ABB). Relatively large trans-endothelial and trans-epithelial Starling …

Versican is a large chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan belonging to the
aggrecan/lectican family. In adults, this proteoglycan serves as a structural macromolecule …

Proteoglycans are composite molecules comprising a protein backbone, ie, the core protein,
with covalently attached glycosaminoglycan chains of distinct chemical types. Most …

Tendon integrity depends on the extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism which is regulated
by proteolytic enzymes. However, it is unclear which enzymes play a role in tendon rupture …

Purpose: To determine the relationship between changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM)
and T1ρ and T2 values in vivo. The ECM is composed of proteoglycan (PG), collagen, and …

Versican is a large chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan in the extracellular
