Abstract excerpt
The rapid progress in the cloning of proteoglycan genes has enabled investigators to examine in depth the functional roles these polyhedric molecules play in the control of cell proliferation. Decorin, a leucine-rich proteoglycan expressed by most connective tissues, is a prototype molecule that regulates cellular growth via two mechanisms: modulation of growth factor activity and matrix assembly. We now provide...
