Summary: Human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) therapy offers significant potential for osteochondral regeneration.Such applications require their ex vivo expansion in media frequently supplemented with fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2).Particular heparan sulfate (HS) fractions stabilize FGF2-FGF receptor complexes.We show that an FGF2-binding HS vari
