METHODS AND PRODUCTS RELATED TO THE INTRACELLULAR DELIVERY OF POLYSACCHARIDES

摘要

The invention relates, in part, to methods and compositions for the intracellular delivery of polysaccharides. In particular, the methods and compositions relate to the intracellular delivery of glycosaminoglycans, such as heparin. The invention in other aspects relates to the use of glycosaminoglycans for the treatment of proliferative disorders, such as cancer. The invention is still other aspects relates to improving cell viability. The invention also relates to the delivery of polysaccharides while avoiding unwanted effects of the polysaccharides.
