Abstract excerpt
By virtue of their multifunctional nature, proteoglycans (PGs) are thought to govern the process of cell movement in numerous physiological and pathological contexts, spanning from early embryonic development to tumour invasion and metastasis. The precise mode by which they influence this process is still fragmentary, but evidence is accruing that they may affect it in a multifaceted manner. PGs bound to the...
