Proliferation of smooth muscle cells from the pulmonary arteries and aortas of fetal calves is inhibited by heparin in vitro. This effect is reversible and dose dependent. Comparisons with effects of other polysaccharides indicate that only extensively sulfated polysaccharides inhibit proliferation
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
