Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG), a matrix protein that occurs naturally in the central
nervous system (CNS), is considered to be a major inhibitor of axonal regeneration and is …

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycans are strong inhibitors of structural rearrangement after
injuries of the adult CNS. In addition to CS chains, keratan sulfate (KS) chains are also …

The rat hippocampal slice preparation and its electrophysiology were used to assess the
toxicity of two sulfur-containing amino acids, l-cysteate (CA) and l-cysteine (CYS). Both …

Publisher Summary Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) play important roles in the
morphogenesis and maintenance of various tissues, including the central nervous system …

The behavior of cells is generally considered to be regulated by environmental factors, but
the molecules in the milieu of neural stem cells have been little studied. We found by …

Our research integrates organic chemistry with neurobiology to explore molecular
mechanisms of neuronal communication in the brain. In particular, we are interested in …

Chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs) up-regulated in the extracellular matrix of
injured nerves, constitute barriers to nerve regeneration. Cleavage of CS using …

In light of controversial reports concerning the effects of chondroitin sulfates on neurite
outgrowth, several glycosaminoglycans belonging to this structural class were compared …

Hydrogen sulfide, which can be generated in the central nervous system from the sulfhydryl-
containing amino acid, L-cysteine, by cystathionine-β-synthase, may exert protective effects …
