Erythrocytes express chondroitin sulphate/dermatan sulphate, which undergoes quantitative changes during diabetes and mediate erythrocyte adhesion to extracellular matrix components.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulphate/dermatan sulphate (CS/DS) are complex molecules that are widely expressed on the cell membrane and extracellular matrix (ECM). They play an important role in wide range of biological activities especi.....
