Oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) affects hyaluronan synthesis in human aortic smooth muscle cells [PDF]

, 2013
Thickening of the vessel in response to high low density lipoprotein(s) (LDL) levels is a hallmark of atherosclerosis, characterized by increased hyaluronan (HA) deposition in the neointima.

The Role of the Gut Microbiome in the Complex Network of Frailty Syndrome and Associated Comorbidities in Aging

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study analyzed gut microbiota in older adults with and without Frailty Syndrome by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metagenomics. Frailty was associated with altered microbial composition, metabolic functions, and increased antimicrobial resistance, whereas non‐frail individuals showed healthier profiles.

Mechanopharmacology of cellular microenvironment stiffness: Therapeutic strategies for age‐related diseases

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 4, Page 945-956, February 2026.
Ageing brings about various biochemical, structural and mechanical alterations within tissues, profoundly impacting cellular behaviour and function. One of the hallmark changes observed with ageing is an increase in cellular microenvironment stiffness, a biomechanical property influenced by intrinsic factors within the cell and extrinsic factors from ...

Hyaluronan accumulation is associated with reduced hyaluronidase expression in renal cell carcinoma, with CD44, HAS1, and HYAL2 emerging as prognostic markers

The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research
Hyaluronan (HA), a large extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan, is associated with malignant features in several human cancers. The accumulation of HA in renal cell carcinomas (RCC) correlates with unfavorable outcomes, higher tumor grade, and more ...

The dynamic metabolism of hyaluronan regulates the cytosolic concentration of UDP-GlcNAc [PDF]

, 2014
Hyaluronan, a macromolecular glycosaminoglycan, is normally synthesized by hyaluronan synthases at the plasma membrane using cytosolic UDP-GlcUA and UDP-GlcNAc substrates and extruding the elongating chain into the extracellular space.

TSHR‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Aptamer Treats Graves' Ophthalmopathy via Novel Allosteric Inhibition

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study presents YC3, a novel inhibitory TSHR‐targeting aptamer, as a promising therapeutic for Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). YC3 suppresses pathological phenotypes in human orbital fibroblasts and improves outcomes in GO mice by binding to a previously unidentified allosteric site on TSHR, demonstrating the potential of aptamers in advancing ...

Global gene expression profiling of individual human oocytes and embryos demonstrates heterogeneity in early development [PDF]

, 2013
Early development in humans is characterised by low and variable embryonic viability, reflected in low fecundity and high rates of miscarriage, relative to other mammals.

Nanoscopic Mapping of the Extracellular Space in Amyloid Plaque‐rich Cortex

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
The extracellular space and diffusion around amyloid plaques are examined using shadow imaging and single‐particle tracking. Increased diffusivity is found near plaques, extracellular matrix alterations, and plaque core penetrability that varies with amyloid phenotype.

Loss of Endothelial Glycocalyx Hyaluronan Impairs Endothelial Stability and Adaptive Vascular Remodeling after Arterial Ischemia

Cells, 2020
We recently reported that loss of hyaluronan (HA) from the endothelial glycocalyx leads to loss of vessel stability in specific microcirculatory vascular beds.
