Glycoconjugates are major constituents of mammalian cells that are formed via covalent
conjugation of carbohydrates to other biomolecules like proteins and lipids and often …

▪ Abstract The heparan sulfate on the surface of all adherent cells modulates the actions of a
large number of extracellular ligands. Members of both cell surface heparan sulfate …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is synthesized and secreted by embryonic cells beginning at
the earliest stages of development. Our understanding of ECM composition, structure and …

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of heparin-binding growth factors. FGFs exert
their pro-angiogenic activity by interacting with various endothelial cell surface receptors …

Both stem cells and cancer cells are thought to be capable of unlimited proliferation.
Paradoxically, however, some cancers seem to contain stem-like cells (cancer stem cells) …

Much recent research has focused on the study of the expression of growth factor genes and
on the identification of growth factor signaling mechanisms inside cells. However, growth …

During mouse lung morphogenesis, the distal mesenchyme regulates the growth and
branching of adjacent endoderm. We report here that fibroblast growth factor 10 (Fgf10) is …

Multipotent, self-renewing neural stem cells reside in the embryonic mouse telencephalic
germinal zone. Using anin vitroneurosphere assay for neural stem cell proliferation, we …

Proteoglycans are a heterogeneous class of proteins bearing sulfated glycosaminoglycans.
Some of the proteoglycans have distinct core protein structures, and others display …
