Abstract excerpt
Syndecans are cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans that serve as co-receptors and modulate the actions of a number of extracellular ligands. Syndecans thereby regulate cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Studies in cancer cells suggest that syndecans may also modulate cell viability. We previously showed that syndecan-2 controls the growth of normal human osteoblastic cells. In this study, we...
