The paper identifies marine sulfated glycans that inhibit Borrelia burgdorferi adhesins' binding to heparin/GAGs, with specific inhibitors showing varying potency against different adhesins.

This study identifies sex- and region-specific astrocyte molecular changes in response to chronic ethanol, highlighting extracellular matrix and glycosaminoglycan remodeling as key factors in ethanol-related neuroplasticity.

This study investigates how histidine residues in GM-CSF affect its structure, flexibility, and ligand binding at physiological pH.

The paper shows that ethanol inhibits astrocyte translation of Chpf2 and Chsy1, reducing CS-GAGs and increasing dendritic arborization in hippocampal neurons.

This study identifies sulfated glycosaminoglycans as targets of candidalysin, a virulence factor in C. albicans, and shows that blocking these interactions can protect epithelial cells from fungal damage.
