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 (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 …

Background and Aims Brown algae are photosynthetic multicellular marine organisms
evolutionarily distant from land plants, with a distinctive cell wall. They feature carbohydrates …

This fifth edition of the successful, long-selling classic has been completely revised and
expanded, omitting some topics on obsolete DNA electrophoresis, but now with a …

We have explored CD44 (a hyaluronan (HA) receptor) interaction with a Na+-H+ exchanger
(NHE1) and hyaluronidase-2 (Hyal-2) during HA-induced cellular signaling in human breast …

Subcutaneously injected therapeutics must pass through the interstitial matrix of the skin in
order to reach their intended targets. This complex, three-dimensional structure limits the …

Noninvasive and pinpointed intracellular drug release that responds to multiple stimulus is
still a formidable challenge for cancer therapy. Herein, we reported a multi-stimuli …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long blocks of negatively charged polysaccharides. They
are one of the major components of the extracellular matrix and play multiple roles in …

The in vitro binding of the macrophage mannose receptor to a range of different bacterial
polysaccharides was investigated. The receptor was shown to bind to purified capsular …

The research field of fucoidans (sulphated polysaccharides from algae) and fucoidanases
was strongly developing in recent years. Several different fucoidans and a few fucoidan …
