| This matrix consists of a network of structural and adhesive proteins embedded in a gel of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. |
| These are type IV collagen, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, entactin and laminin. |
| A dense band of fibroblasts, collagen fibers, proteoglycans, and occasional mast cells encase the granuloma. |
| The firmness and resiliency of cartilage, as at the surface of joints, is due to highly organized proteoglycans that bind water tightly. |
| It is known that endogenous KGF is a heparin binding protein, therefore, it binds to heparin sulfate proteoglycans. |
| Skin contains substances that bind water, so-called proteoglycans, which maintain volume in the skin. |
