Effects of ingestion of collagen peptide on collagen fibrils and glycosaminoglycans in Achilles tendon.
Jun Minaguchi,Yoh-ichi Koyama,Natsuko Meguri,Yoshinao Z. Hosaka,Hiromi Ueda,Masashi Kusubata,Arisa Hirota,Shinkichi Irie,Naoki Mafune,Kazushige Takehana +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the ingestion of collagen peptide affects the size of collagen fibrils and composition of glycosaminoglycans in the Achilles tendon and thus may improve the mechanical properties of the Achilles Achilles tendon.
Structural alteration of glycosaminoglycan side chains and spatial disorganization of collagen networks in the skin of patients with mcEDS-CHST14.

Tomoyuki Takigawa,Tomoko Yonezawa,Teruhito Yoshitaka,Jun Minaguchi,Masae Kurosaki,Masato Tanaka,Yoshikazu Sado,Aiji Ohtsuka,Toshifumi Ozaki,Yoshifumi Ninomiya +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that structurally altered basement membranes facilitate expansion of secondary inflammation during the subacute phase of spinal cord injury.

Optical imaging of mouse articular cartilage using the glycosaminoglycans binding property of fluorescent-labeled octaarginine.
Kiichi Inagawa,Toshitaka Oohashi,Keiichiro Nishida,Jun Minaguchi,T. Tsubakishita,Kursat Oguz Yaykasli,Aiji Ohtsuka,Toshifumi Ozaki,T. Moriguchi,Yoshifumi Ninomiya +9 more
TL;DR: R8 accumulation was significantly decreased in the degenerative cartilage of CAIA mice, and this was demonstrated both histologically and in three-dimensional (3D)-reconstruction image by OPT.

Efficacy of self-assembled hydrogels composed of positively or negatively charged peptides as scaffolds for cell culture.
Aya Nagayasu,Hidenori Yokoi,Jun Minaguchi,Yoshinao Z. Hosaka,Yoshinao Z. Hosaka,Hiromi Ueda,Kazushige Takehana +6 more
TL;DR: Comparison of differently charged peptides under a neutral condition suggested that the charges of the scaffolds should be taken into consideration for the best design and selection of scaffolds for cell culture.
