Normal wound healing in skin embraces several reparative processes, many of which directly involve components of the extracellular matrix and the cutaneous basement membrane zone. Proteoglycans are a group of extracellular matrix macromolecules that have both structural and regulatory properties. In
Heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are integral components of the basement membrane (BM) in various tissues. HSPGs are important in the assembly and structure of the BM, and their putative functions include regulation of basement membrane permeability, binding of growth factors, and a role in ce
