Heparin is a heterogeneous mixture of highly charged glycosaminoglycans that can exert a variety of biological and biochemical effects. Increasing attention is being paid to its role in cellular processes such as angiogenesis, cellular attachment, growth modulation and smooth muscle cell proliferation. The characterisation of cellular receptors for heparin-binding proteins is a rational step in the quest to elucidate the biochemical basis of specific binding and heparin-mediated responses. We studied the distribution of heparin-binding lectin at the optical level during bovine thymus development on sections of fixed tissue using antibodies raised against this lectin. The presence of ligands accessible to …

Fetal femur length assessment has been the subject of numerous investigations. Skeletal growth disturbances, estimation of fetal gestational age, developmental abnormality and detection of certain fetal congenital anomalies, and determination of population growth characteristics have been the objectives of different investigators' studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between the crown-rump length (CRL) and fetal femur growth parameters and the gestational age during the second and third trimesters. Thirty dead normal immature and premature fetuses were selected from the fetal collection at the Anatomy Department of the Medical School, Selçuk University. Depending on the fetal CRL …
