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

Plant 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.

Hyaluronan Biosynthesis by Class I Streptococcal Hyaluronan Synthases Occurs at the Reducing End [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Previous studies reached different conclusions about whether class I hyaluronan synthases (HASs) elongate hyaluronic acid (HA) by addition to the reducing or the nonreducing end. Here we used two strategies to determine the direction of HA synthesis by purified class I HASs from Streptococcus equisimilis and Streptococcus pyogenes.

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

Periodontology 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 ...

Excessive hypercholesterolaemia during pregnancy as a risk factor for endothelial dysfunction in pre‐eclampsia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Excessive hypercholesterolaemia during pregnancy impairs maternal endothelial function, which, in turn, drives the development of pre‐eclampsia and may also contribute to the increased risk of later‐life cardiovascular disease in women.

Effect of vasopressin on the expression of genes for key enzymes of interstitial hyaluronan turnover and concentration ability in WAG rat kidneys

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2016
In mammals, arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is a major hormone involved in the regulation of renal water reabsorption, acting via an increase in the osmotic permeability of the collecting duct epithelium.

Metabolic reprogramming of murine cardiomyocytes during autophagy requires the extracellular nutrient sensor decorin. [PDF]

, 2018
The extracellular matrix is a master regulator of tissue homeostasis in health and disease. Here we examined how the small, leucine-rich, extracellular matrix proteoglycan decorin regulates cardiomyocyte metabolism during fasting in vivo.
