The heparin-binding or fibroblast growth factors (HBGFs) modulate cell growth and migration, angiogenesis, wound repair, neurite extension, and mesoderm induction. Relatively little is known regarding the precise mechanism of action of these growth factors or the structural basis for their action. A
## Abstract Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)‐2 regulates a variety of cellular functions, such as proliferation and differentiation, by binding to cell surface FGF receptors (FGFRs) in the presence of heparin proteoglycans. FGF‐2 is known as a heparin‐binding growth factor, but the localization of th
Heparin and heparin-like molecules may function, apart from their effect on hemostasis, as regulators of cell growth and neovascularization. We investigated whether similar effects are exerted by laminarin sulfate, an unrelated polysulfated saccharide isolated from the cell wall of seaweed and compo
