Growth inhibition in vitro of murine mammary adenocarcinoma cells by heparin and chemically modified heparins

Heparin, a highly sulfated polysaccharide used as an antithrombotic and anticoagulant, inhibits proliferation of several cell types. We have investigated the effect of heparin and chemically modified heparins on the growth of a cell culture of a murine mammary adenocarcinoma (M3). We found that hepa...
