Perlecan (HSPG2) promotes structural, contractile, and metabolic development of human cardiomyocytes

Summary: Perlecan (HSPG2), a heparan sulfate proteoglycan similar to agrin, is key for extracellular matrix (ECM) maturation and stabilization. Although crucial for cardiac development, its role remains elusive. We show that perlecan expression increases as cardiomyocytes mature in vivo and during h...
