TL;DR: The results suggest that heparan sulfate abounds at sites of active morphogenesis and that the expression of this glycosaminoglycan is developmentally regulated.

TL;DR: An antisense oligonucleotide primer is synthesized that matches a supposedly conserved sequence in messages for heparan sulfate proteoglycans with transmembrane orientations and is proposed to name this proteoglycan "amphiglycan" referring to its domain structure which extends on both sides of the plasmamembrane, and to its localization around cells of both epithelial and fibroblastic origin.

TL;DR: Researchers have studied the expression of fibroglycan in the mouse embryo and compared this expression with that of syndecan-1, suggesting that fibrogycan and syndecans may have distinctive functions during tissue morphogenesis and differentiation.

TL;DR: Results indicate that glypican accounts for the expression of apical heparan sulfate, but that glycanation of the core protein antagonizes the activity of the apical sorting signal conveyed by the GPI anchor of this proteoglycan.

TL;DR: Dissociated human nasal epithelial cells from nasal polyps cultured in Ham's F12-DME 1/1 supplemented with NU-serum 10%, choleratoxin, retinoic acid, and antibiotics resulted in normal and coordinated ciliary activity observed for more than 5 months.
