Glycosaminoglycans in Development, Health and Disease: Volume 93

Series: Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a family of linear polysaccharides that are found in all animal tissues. Several are used as biomaterials, including heparin, heparin sulfate, keratan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate. This volume discusses the role of GAGs in development, health and disease.
