Europe Heparin Market: Key Developments

In 2022, Cardiff University, a research university development of drug delivery systems that release cancer drugs in a controlled manner and a sustainable way is still difficult. Hypothesis that highly sulfated heparin-based microcarriers would enable electrostatic  binding and controlled drug release. In silica modeling showed that the cancer drug doxorubicin has an affinity for the heparin component of microcarriers. Experiments have shown the existence of a strong electrostatic interaction  reversible, allowing both  loading and  subsequent slow release of doxorubicin over 42 days without letting go of the first explosion. The drug-loaded microcarriers were able to reduce cancer cells viability in vitro in both hormone-dependent and highly aggressive tri-negative individuals breast cancer cells.

On May 27, 2023, European Bioinformatics Institute, explained fibroblast growth factors are heparin-binding proteins, and interactions with cell surface-bound heparan sulfate proteoglycans have been shown to be important for FGF signaling. FGFs have an intrinsic pseudo-threefold symmetry (β-trefoil topology). Currently, more than 20 different members of the FGF family  have been identified in mammals, all of which are structurally similar signaling molecules. They exert its effects through four different membrane fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), FGFR1 to FGFR4, which belong to the tyrosine kinase superfamily. Upon binding to FGF, the receptors dimerize and its intracellular tyrosine kinase domains are activated.
