Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

The Pleiotropic Effects of Beneficial Mutations of Adapted Escherichia coli Populations [PDF]
, 2014 Mutations that improve fitness in one environment can often be beneficial, deleterious, or neutral in alternative environments. When a single mutation effects fitness in multiple environments, it is said to be a pleiotropic, which can have important ...

Hyaluronic acid: A novel approach in regenerative/reconstructive periodontal therapy?
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Although hyaluronic acid (HA) has long been used for many medical applications, only in recent years has it gained greater popularity in the field of periodontics because of its biological effects during wound healing. Even today, most clinicians are not aware that more than one type of HA exists and that the extent of its ...

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.Aqueous self‐assembly of a 2‐nitrobenzyl‐functionalized glucosamine derivative leads to the formation of photo‐responsive glyco‐microfibers via cooperative noncovalent interactions, primarily driven by π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding. Upon photo‐irradiation, the glyco‐microfibers undergo dis‐assembly even within confined water‐in‐oil microdroplets ...
