dentigerous cyst/heparin

OBJECTIVE Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor whose expression is increased in most tumors, namely ameloblastomas. This study aimed to compare Midkine expression in different odontogenic lesions. METHODS This analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 52 definitely diagnosed

Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) were extracted from the connective tissue of 15 dental cysts, 2 dentigerous cysts and 7 keratocysts, and separated electrophoretically and chromatographically. Hyaluronic acid (dental, 2.38; dentigerous, 3.98; keratocyst, 3.19 micrograms uronic acid/mg lyophilized tissue)

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in enzymes that participate in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparin sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Left untreated, patients show progressive mental and physical deterioration due to
