Sulfated alginate as a mimic of sulfated glycosaminoglycans: binding of growth factors and effect on stem cell behavior

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are principal elements of the extracellular matrix, where they are involved in a plethora of signaling pathways mainly via interactions with diverse proteins such as growth factors and cytokines. However, the mechanisms that drive these interactions are not yet cle...
