A new avenue to the synthesis of GAG-mimicking polymers highly promoting neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Abstract

A new strategy for the fabrication of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) analogs was proposed by copolymerizing the sulfonated unit and the glyco unit, ‘splitted’ from the sulfated saccharide building blocks of GAGs. The synthetic polymers can promote cell proliferation and neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells with the effects even better than those of heparin.
