Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objectives Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and synovitis have been recognized as essential factors for developing osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip joints. However, little is known about altered synovial cellular compositions, their associated transcriptomic profiles, and cell‐cell interactions in FAI and hip OA.

Are hyaluronan receptors involved in three-dimensional cell migration?
Histology and histopathology, 2000 Hyaluronan (HA), an unbranched polysaccharide consisting of repeated glucuronic acid/N-acetylglucosamine disaccharide units, is ubiquitously present in the extracellular matrix of many tissues (for a more comprehensive review see: Fraser et al., 1997).

Hyaluronan in the lymphatics: The key role of the hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 in leucocyte trafficking [PDF]
Matrix Biology, 2019 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
