Definitions

Polypeptide: a polypeptide is an unbranched peptide chain made of less than 50 amino acids. A covalent peptide bond is formed when the carboxylic group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another peptide. For instance, poly(l-lysine) (PLL) is a polymer of lysine.

Polysaccharide: it is a polymer of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages. The monosaccharide unit is a simple sugar unit made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. In the body, major polysaccharides are hyaluronan (HA), chondroitin sulfate (CSA), and heparan sulfates.

Extracellular matrix (ECM): it is the matrix surrounding the cells and made of large proteins such as fibronectin, collagen, or laminin and of polysaccharides. The exact composition of the ECM depends on the type of tissue.

Growth factor: it is a protein capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation.
