Heparan sulfate and cell division [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Heparan sulfate is a component of vertebrate and invertebrate tissues which appears during the cytodifferentiation stage of embryonic development. Its structure varies according to the tissue and species of origin and is modified during neoplastic ...

Defects in the medial entorhinal cortex and dentate gyrus in the mouse model of Sanfilippo syndrome type B. [PDF]
, 2011 Sanfilippo syndrome type B (MPS IIIB) is characterized by profound mental retardation in childhood, dementia and death in late adolescence; it is caused by deficiency of α-N-acetylglucosaminidase and resulting lysosomal storage of heparan sulfate.

Heparin Mimetics and Their Impact on Extracellular Matrix Protein Assemblies
Pharmaceuticals, 2023 Heparan sulfate is a crucial extracellular matrix component that organizes structural features and functional protein processes. This occurs through the formation of protein–heparan sulfate assemblies around cell surfaces, which allow for the deliberate ...

Potential Use of Anti-Inflammatory Synthetic Heparan Sulfate to Attenuate Liver Damage
Biomedicines, 2020 Heparan sulfate is a highly sulfated polysaccharide abundant on the surface of hepatocytes and surrounding extracellular matrix. Emerging evidence demonstrates that heparan sulfate plays an important role in neutralizing the activities of proinflammatory
