In recent decades, evidence has accumulated implicating heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in tumor initiation and progression. Ubiquitously present at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, HSPGs are composed of a protein core with covalently bound heparan sulfate (HS) chains. They pr...
