## Abstract Understanding the process of wound healing will provide valuable insight for the development of new strategies to treat diseases associated with improper regeneration, such as blindness induced by corneal scarring. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are not normally expressed in the c
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans on the cell surface act as low affinity binding sites for acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) [Moscatelli (1987): J Cell Physiol 131:123-1301 and play an important role in the interaction of FGF with the FGF receptor (FGFR). In this study, several aspects of
