HEPARAN SULFATE PROTEOGLYCANS: KEY MEDIATORS OF STEM CELL FUNCTION

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans: Key Mediators of Stem Cell Function

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are an evolutionarily ancient subclass of glycoproteins with exquisite structural complexity.They are ubiquitously expressed across tissues and have been found to exert a multitude of effects on cell behavior and the surrounding microenvironment.Evidence has shown that heterogeneity in HSPG CINNAMON BARK compos
