## Abstract Metastatic ovarian carcinoma metastasizes by intraβperitoneal, nonβhematogenous dissemination. The adhesion of the ovarian carcinoma cells to extracellular matrix components, such as types I and III collagen and cellular fibronectin, is essential for intraβperitoneal dissemination. The

## Abstract Endothelial cell (EC) migration is critical in wound healing and angiogenesis. Fluid shear stress due to blood flow plays an important role in EC migration. However, the role of EC surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in EC adhesion, migration, and mechanotransduction is not we
## Abstract Exposure of endothelial cells to heparin and other antithrombotic drugs specifically stimulates the synthesis of an antithrombotic heparan sulfate (HS). In the present work, biotinylated heparin (BiotHep) was used to characterize the binding site(s) of heparin responsible for the stimul
A synthetic peptide, which was shown to bind extracellular matrix heparan sulfate chains with a high degree of affinity and specificity [Colburn et al. (1996): Arch Biochem Biophys 325:129-138], has now been found to promote the transfer and the deposition of endothelial cell surface proteoglycans i
## Abstract Small leucineβrich proteoglycans, such as biglycan, and their side chain sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), have been suggested to be involved in bone formation and mineralization processes. The present study was designed to investigate whether chondroitin sulfate (CS), one of the GAG,
