Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

open access: yesPlant 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.

MicroRNA-23 Restricts Cardiac Valve Formation by Inhibiting Has2 and Extracellular Hyaluronic Acid Production [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2011
Rationale: Since their discovery almost 20 years ago, microRNAs have been shown to perform essential roles during tissue development and disease. Although roles for microRNAs in the myocardium during embryo development and cardiac disease have been demonstrated, very little is know about their role ...

PFKFB4 Promotes Breast Cancer Metastasis via Induction of Hyaluronan Production in a p38-Dependent Manner

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: The bi-functional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-biphosphatase-4 (PFKFB4) is highly expressed in many types of cancer and its requirement for tumor survival has been demonstrated in glioma, lung, and prostate cancers ...

Hyaluronic acid: A novel approach in regenerative/reconstructive periodontal therapy?

open access: yesPeriodontology 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 ...

Growth promoting effect of hyaluronan synthesis promoting substances on Japanese eel leptocephali. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Hyaluronans (HAs) are glycosaminoglycans produced in the bodies of Anguilliform and Elopiform leptocephali, and play a role in metabolic energy. In mammals, HA synthesis-promoting substances (HASPS) up-regulate the expression of HA synthase (HAS) and ...

Bacteriophage and Fusidic Acid Have Synergistic Effect Against Meticillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in Ex Vivo Canine Dermis Model

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Background: Antimicrobial stewardship has become vital given the progressive emergence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria, and novel approaches to the treatment of bacterial infections are needed. Recently, reported synergistic effects of antibacterial drugs and bacteriophage therapy have revealed promising applications for the management of meticillin ...

Targeted HAS2 Expression Lessens Airway Responsiveness in Chronic Murine Allergic Airway Disease [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2017
Hyaluronan (HA), a major component of the extracellular matrix, is secreted by airway structural cells. Airway fibroblasts in allergic asthma secrete elevated levels of HA in association with increased HA synthase 2 (HAS2) expression. Thus, we hypothesized that HA accumulation in the airway wall may contribute to airway remodeling and ...

Use of a Cytobrush for Sampling the Ear Canal of Dogs With Otitis Externa

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Cytological examination of the ear canal is essential for evaluating dogs with otitis externa (OE). The conventional sampling method uses a swab. However, the cytobrush (gynaecological cervical brush), already used for cytological collection from other anatomical sites, has not been adequately investigated for this purpose in dogs with OE.
