Destructive effects of murine arthritogenic antibodies to type II collagen on cartilage explants in vitro [PDF]
Certain monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to type II collagen (CII) induce arthritis in vivo after passive transfer and have adverse effects on chondrocyte cultures and inhibit self assembly of collagen fibrils in vitro.

Since the discovery of a novel liver hyaluronan (HA) clearance receptor in 1981 by Laurent, Fraser and coworkers, 22 different ligands cleared by the renamed receptor (the Hyaluronan Receptor for Endocytosis (HARE); Stabilin-2 (Stab2)) were discovered ...

Fifty-kDa Hyaluronic Acid Upregulates Some Epidermal Genes without Changing TNF-α Expression in Reconstituted Epidermis [PDF]
Background: Due to its strong water binding potential, hyaluronic acid (HA) is a well-known active ingredient for cosmetic applications. However, based on its varying molecular size, skin penetration of HA may be limited. Recent studies have demonstrated

The paper presents data on osteoarthrosis treatment using hyaluronic acid (HA) preparations, on the functions of hyaluronan (HN) in synovial fluid (SF), synovial tissue, and articular cartilage, and on differences in the symptom-modifying effect of HN ...

Hyaluronan in the lymphatics: The key role of the hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 in leucocyte trafficking [PDF]
LYVE-1, a close relative of the leucocyte receptor, CD44, is the main receptor for hyaluronan (HA) in lymphatic vessel endothelium and a widely used marker for distinguishing between blood and lymphatic vessels. Enigmatic for many years because of its anomalous HA-binding characteristics, the function of LYVE-1 has just recently been identified as that

ΔNp63-mediated regulation of hyaluronic acid metabolism and signaling supports HNSCC tumorigenesis [PDF]
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and several molecular pathways that underlie the molecular tumorigenesis of HNSCC have been identified. Among them, amplification or overexpression of ΔNp63 isoforms

The CD147‐HYALURONAN Axis in Cancer
CD147 (basigin; EMMPRIN), hyaluronan, and hyaluronan receptors (e.g., CD44) are intimately involved in several phenomena that underlie malignancy. A major avenue whereby they influence tumor progression is most likely their role in the characteristics of

Purification and molecular identification of the human hyaluronan receptor for endocytosis [PDF]
The clearance of hyaluronan (HA) and chondroitin sulfates from the circulating blood and lymph in the body is mediated by the membrane-bound HA receptor for endocytosis (HARE). Previously, we found that two HARE species of approximately 175 kDa and approximately 300 kDa are abundant in the sinusoidal endothelial cells in rat liver, spleen, and lymph ...

Contemporary views on inflammatory pain mechanisms: TRPing over innate and microglial pathways. [PDF]
Tissue injury, whether by trauma, surgical intervention, metabolic dysfunction, ischemia, or infection, evokes a complex cellular response (inflammation) that is associated with painful hyperalgesic states.
