Effect of Versican G1 Domain Overexpression on Hyaluronan, Hyaluronidase-2, and Synovial Joint Formation in the Embryonic Chick
(East Carolina University, 2013)Versican, an extracellular chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan which binds hyaluronan, has been hypothesized to play a role in synovial joint formation in the chick embryo. Several studies have shown versican to be involved ... -
The extracellular processing of aggrecan aggregate and its effect on CD44 mediated internalization of hyaluronan.
(East Carolina University, 2015)In many cells the hyaluronan receptor CD44 mediates the endocytosis of hyaluronan and its delivery to endosomes / lysosomes. The regulation of this process remains largely unknown. In most extracellular matrices hyaluronan ... -
VALIDATION OF CANDIDATE GENES IN RESPONSE TO VERSICAN MANIPULATION IN DEVELOPING SYNOVIAL JOINTS
(East Carolina University, 2012)Little is understood about the complex process of synovial joint formation in early limb development. It has been shown that versican is highly expressed in the extracellular matrix of these joints (Snow et al., 2005; ...
