Patterns of heparan sulfate and FGF ligand expression in pancreatic islets and roles in paracrine regulation
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) exist in pancreatic beta cells, and HS seems to modulate important interactions in the islet microenvironment. However, the intra-islet structures of HS in health or altered glucose homeostasis are currently unknown. This work shows that distinct spatial distrib...
