Hyaluronan Synthase 1: A Novel Candidate Gene Associated With Late-Onset Non-syndromic Hereditary Hearing Loss [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2022
Objectives Hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1) is a membrane-bound protein that is abundant in the epidermis and dermis, and it is important for skin function. However, its association with hearing loss has not yet been studied.

The hyaluronan-related genes HAS2, HYAL1-4, PH20 and HYALP1 are associated with prognosis, cell viability and spheroid formation capacity in ovarian cancer

Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 2022
Purpose Hyaluronan modulates tumour progression, including cell adhesion, cohesion, proliferation and invasion, and the cancer stem cell phenotype. In ovarian cancer, high levels of stromal hyaluronan are associated with poor prognosis.

Pan-cancer analysis reveals the potential of hyaluronate synthase as therapeutic targets in human tumors

Heliyon, 2023
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a crucial component of the extracellular matrix, and its level of accumulation is related to the progression of various malignant tumors. In this study, a pan-cancer analysis of the three enzymes called hyaluronan synthases (HAS1,

Bacillus subtilis Fermentation Augments the Anti-Inflammatory and Skin Moisture Improvement Activities of Tetragonia tetragonoides through the Upregulation of Antioxidant Components

Fermentation, 2023
This study demonstrates that the fermentation of Tetragonia tetragonioides (T. tetragonioides) by Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) subsp. spizizenii enhances its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-moisturizing activities. Fermented T. tetragonioides
