There are several versions of hyaluronan injections -- also called viscosupplementation -- that are used to treat knee osteoarthritis.They are injected directly into the joint.

This thesis elucidates how decorin modulates the formation and stability of newly synthesized cartilage ECM components under both normal and degenerative conditions. Using bio-orthogonal ...

Inhaled high molecular weight hyaluronan ameliorates respiratory failure in acute COPD exacerbation: a pilot study. Respiratory Research , 2021; 22 (1) DOI: 10.1186/s12931-020-01610-x Cite This Page : ...

A research team at Toho University, has revealed that cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, increases the synthesis of hyaluronan in vascular endothelial cells. Their study has also identified that this ...

This hyaluronan-maker, known as HAS2, is made of 552 amino acids. The naked mole rat has altered just two of these, which are always the same in other mammals. These tiny changes were enough to ...

Hyaluronan Deficiency Due to Has3 Knock-Out Causes Altered Neuronal Activity and Seizures via Reduction in Brain Extracellular Space. Journal of Neuroscience , 2014; 34 (18): 6164 DOI: 10.1523 ...

Hyaluronan, a sugar secreted by living tissue that acts as a scaffold for cells, is also used in cosmetics as a skin moisturizer and as a nasal spray to moisturize lung airways.

The researchers studied tissue cultures from naked mole rats and found these small, subterranean rodents produce a unique, high-molecular-mass form of hyaluronan, which they referred to as HMW-HA ...

According to a recent University of Eastern Finland study, elevated cell sugar concentrations increase the production of hyaluronan which, in turn, promotes cancer growth. Regulating the ...
