Using heparan sulfate octadecasaccharide (18-mer) as a multi-target agent to protect against sepsis

Looks Interesting. Will have to dig into this and find out why an 18-mer...

Chemokine CXCL4 interactions with extracellular matrix proteoglycans mediate widespread immune cell recruitment independent of chemokine receptors.

Nice work led by Doug Dyer's group in Manchester - CXCL4 doesn't appear to have a protein receptor, rather it binds GAG chains on a wide range of cell surface proteoglycans.
