The hyaluronidases (Hyals) are classes of enzymes that degrade, predominantly,
hyaluronan (HA). The term “hyaluronidase” is somewhat of a misnomer since they have the …

Hyaluronan (HA, Figure 1), a high molecular weight biopolysaccharide, was discovered by
Meyer and Palmer in 1934 in the vitreous humor of cattle eyes. 1 HA is a member of a group …

The formation of the follicular antrum and follicular fluid has received scant attention from
researchers, yet both are important processes in follicular development. The central …

A review of the literature describing experimental studies on hyaluronan (HA) is presented.
Methods sensitive to the hydrodynamic properties of HA, analyzed in neutral aqueous …

Since hyaluronate (HA) was firstly isolated from the vitreous of bovine eyes in 1934, HA has
been widely investigated for various biomedical applications. As a naturally-occurring …

Connective tissues maintain shape against external and internal stress. They are molecular
hierarchies in which fundamental building units come together in tiers of increasing …

The term size exclusionchromatography (SEC), rather than gel permeation, gel filtration,
steric exclusion, exclusion, or gel chromatography, has been used in this review. SEC is an …

13C NMR spectra of aqueous solutions of hyaluronan (HA) of high molecular mass, before
and after digestion with testicular hyaluronidase, and of hyaluronan methyl ester were …

Multilayer films have been prepared by the sequential electrostatic adsorption of poly (l-
lysine) and hyaluronic acid onto charged silicon surfaces from dilute aqueous solutions …

Sodium hyaluronate NaHA in phosphate-buffered saline behaves as a typical
polyelectrolyte in the high-salt limit, as Newtonian viscosities are observed over a wide …
