Antiproliferative polysaccharides modulate distribution and phenotypic expression of collagens by gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract excerpt

Gingival fibroblasts are particularly involved in the physiologic maintenance and repair of periodontium. During these processes, cell proliferation and synthesis of a collagen-rich gingival matrix should be controlled. A dextran derivative, namely, carboxy methyl dextran benzylamide sulfonate (CMDBS), considered to be a functional analog of heparin, was previously described to regulate proliferation of different...
