Heparan sulfate regulates amphiregulin programming of tissue reparative lung mesenchymal cells during influenza A virus infection in mice

Abstract Amphiregulin (Areg), a growth factor produced by regulatory T (Treg) cells to facilitate tissue repair, contains a heparan sulfate (HS) binding domain. How HS, a highly sulfated glycan subtype that alters growth factor signaling, influences Areg repair functions is unclear. Here we report t...
