Hydrogels have been widely investigated in biomedical fields due to their similar physical
and biochemical properties to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen and hyaluronic acid …

Hyaluronan is a simple repeating disaccharide polymer, synthesized at the cell surface by
integral membrane synthases. The repeating sequence is perfectly homogeneous, and is …

The cell-surface glycoprotein CD44 is involved in a multitude of important physiological
functions including cell proliferation, adhesion, migration, hematopoiesis, and lymphocyte …

Hyaluronan (HA) is a naturally occurring non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG), cell-
surface-associated biopolymer and is the key component of tissue extracellular matrix …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is key to the stability of the internal environment of tissues. HA content
in tissues gradually decreases with age, causing age-related health problems. Exogenous …
