    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cartilage; Chondrocytes metabolism; Chondroitin sulfates; Glycosaminoglycans; Osteoarthritis; Proteoglycans; Glucosamine; Sulfation; Biochemistry; biokemi; cellforskning; cell research; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

    Abstract : Glucosamine (GlcN) and glucosamine sulfate (GS) have been used to treat the patients with osteoarthritis(OA) as a disease-modifying agent. Previousin vitro studies have focused on the effects of GlcN or GSon cartilage metabolism, whereas in vivo studies have investigated their potential for the treatment of OA. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cellular regulation of heparan sulfate structure and function

    Author : Fariba Safaiyan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Heparan sulfate; structure; biosynthesis; sulfation; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical and Physiological Chemistry; medicinsk och fysiologisk kemi;

    Abstract : Heparan sulfate (HS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan found on cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix as HS proteoglycans. HS is synthesized as a polymer of alternating glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine units. READ MORE

  5. 3. Optical Diagnostics for Quantitative Potassium Chemistry in Biomass Thermochemical Conversion Processes

    Author : Wubin Weng; Förbränningsfysik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optical diagnostics; Quantitative measurement; TDLAS; Sulfation; Biomass; UV absorption spectroscopy; TLAF; Potassium chemistry;

    Abstract : Biomass is an essential sustainable and carbon-neutral energy source. Through thermochemical conversion processes, such as combustion and gasification, biomass can generally be used in boilers to provide heat and/or power. Biomass fuels contain varying amounts of potassium, chlorine and sulfur. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of polysaccharide modifications during Drosophila development

    Author : Florian Lüders; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ontogeni; growth animal ; embryologi; Development biology; Decapentaplegic; Hedgehog; Wingless; Sulfation; Pipe; Glycosaminoglycan; Glycosyltransferase; ontogeny; embryology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Glucosides attached to proteins and lipids have been shown to modulate the activity of signal transduction pathways regulating growth and patterning processes during animal development. In particular, O-linked glycans such as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been implicated in modulation of growth factor signaling pathways. READ MORE

  7. 5. Chemical Interactions between Potassium, Nitrogen, Sulfur and Carbon Monoxide in Suspension-Fired Systems
