Tracking Hyaluronan: Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Coated Carbon Dots for Cancer Cell Targeting and Imaging.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2018
War against cancer constantly requires new affinity tools to selectively detect, localize, and quantify biomarkers for diagnosis or prognosis. Herein, carbon nanodots (CDs), an emerging class of fluorescent nanomaterials, coupled with molecularly ...

Biochemistry of Hyaluronan

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1987
Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid) is a linear polysaccharide formed from disaccharide units containing N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. It is ubiquitously distributed in the organism but is found in the highest concentrations in soft connective tissues. The molecular weight of hyaluronan is usually in the order of 10(6) to 10(7).

Hyaluronan and hyaluronan-binding proteins in cartilaginous tissues.

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1989
Recent developments in the biology of hyaluronan in cartilage are reviewed. The homology between the hyaluronan-binding sites of cartilage proteoglycan and link protein is discussed. Previous reports indicate that an increased concentration of extracellular hyaluronan inhibits 35S-proteoglycan synthesis by several types of chondrocyte.

Hyaluronan and Hyaluronan Fragments

2017
The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) is a key component of the microenvironment surrounding cells. In healthy tissues, HA molecules have extremely high molecular mass and consequently large hydrodynamic volumes. Tethered to the cell surface by clustered receptor proteins, HA molecules crowd each other, as well as other macromolecular species.

Nanotherapy in Joints: Increasing Endogenous Hyaluronan Production by Delivering Hyaluronan Synthase 2

Advances in Materials, 2019
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint degenerative disease that causes pain, joint damage, and dysfunction. External hyaluronic acid (HA) supplement is a common method for the management of osteoarthritis which requires multi‐injections.

Conjugation of hyaluronan to proteins

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013
Polymer conjugation has been widely exploited to prolong half-life and reduce immunogenicity of therapeutic proteins. Here, the potentials of hyaluronic acid (HA) have been investigated by studying the conjugates with two model enzymes, trypsin and RNase A, and with insulin.

The Hyaluronan Synthase Catalyzes the Synthesis and Membrane Translocation of Hyaluronan

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2012
Hyaluronan (HA), an extracellular linear polysaccharide of alternating N-acetyl-glucosamine and glucuronic acid residues, is ubiquitously expressed in vertebrates, where it affects a broad spectrum of physiological processes, including cell adhesion, migration and differentiation. The HA polymer is synthesized on the cytosolic side of the cell membrane

Biology and biotechnology of hyaluronan

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2015
The hyaluronan (HA) polymer is a critical component of extracellular matrix with a remarkable structure: is a linear and unbranched polymer without sulphate or phosphate groups. It is ubiquitous in mammals showing several biological functions, ranging from cell proliferation and migration to angiogenesis and inflammation.

Curcumin entrapped hyaluronan containing niosomes: preparation, characterisation and in vitro/in vivo evaluation

Journal of Microencapsulation, 2019
Curcumin, a natural polyphenolic compound, has numerous pharmacological activities; while it faces several bioavailability problems, due to its poor solubility and stability. So, many nanostructures have been designed to overcome these drawbacks. The aim
