Glycosaminoglycans in Development, Health and Disease

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a family of linear polysaccharides that are found in all animal tissues. This title discusses the role of GAGs in development, health and disease. It is suitable for researchers involved in molecular biology and related fields.

Commentaire

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES:
"Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist-for whom the numerous references will be invaluable-but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell." --British Medical Journal
