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 (HA) is a linear nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix that
plays a pivotal role in a variety of biological processes. High‐molecular weight HA exhibits …

The naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) displays exceptional longevity, with a
maximum lifespan exceeding 30 years,,. This is the longest reported lifespan for a rodent …

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

Hyaluronan is a straight chain, glycosaminoglycan polymer of the extracellular matrix
composed of repeating units of the disaccharide [-d-glucuronic acid-β1, 3-N-acetyl-d …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has already been consolidated in the literature as an extremely
efficient biopolymer for biomedical applications. In addition to its biodegradability, HA also …

Three mammalian hyaluronan synthase genes, HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3, have recently
been cloned. In this study, we characterized and compared the enzymatic properties of …

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 …

Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan constituent of extracellular matrix. In its native form
HA exists as a high molecular weight polymer, but during inflammation lower molecular …

In situ photopolymerization is an exciting new technique for tissue engineering. Two
photocrosslinkable polysaccharides composed of alginate and hyaluronan are described …
