Inhibition of hyaluronan synthesis reduces versican and fibronectin levels in trabecular meshwork cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Hyaluronan (HA) is a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and is synthesized by three HA synthases (HAS). Similarities between the HAS2 knockout mouse and the hdf mutant mouse, which has a mutation in the versican gene, suggest that HA and ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Understanding and addressing resistance to IMiDs immunomodulatory compounds in multiple myeloma
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.IMiDs are pivotal in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Mechanisms of resistance comprise cell intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, involving tumour microenvironment, immune cell dysfunction, CRBN‐dependent and independent genetic drivers and epigenetic changes.

Nanotherapy in Joints: Increasing Endogenous Hyaluronan Production by Delivering Hyaluronan Synthase 2 [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2019 AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint degenerative disease that causes pain, joint damage, and dysfunction. External hyaluronic acid (HA) supplement is a common method for the management of osteoarthritis which requires multi‐injections. It is demonstrated that biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles successfully deliver an enzyme ...

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 ...

In Vivo Hyaluronan Synthesis upon Expression of the Mammalian Hyaluronan Synthase Gene in Drosophila [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 Hyaluronan (HA) is a large linear polymer of repeating disaccharides of glucuronic acid and GlcNAc. Although HA is widely distributed in vertebrate animals, it has not been found in invertebrates, including insect species. Insects utilize chitin, a repeating beta-1,4-linked homopolymer of GlcNAc, as a major component of their exoskeleton.

Understanding exosomes in facial esthetics and skin aging
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Skin aging is a multifactorial process mediated by intrinsic (genetic and metabolic) and extrinsic (environmental) factors leading to functional and structural deterioration, including wrinkles, loss of collagen and elastin, as well as various pigmentation disorders.

Expression of hyaluronan synthases in articular cartilage
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2000 To investigate the mRNA expression profiles of three mammalian hyaluronan synthases (HAS1, HAS2 and HAS3) in chondrocytes from normal (undiseased) animal cartilage and osteoarthritic human cartilage maintained in experimental culture systems and exposed to catabolic or anabolic stimuli provided by cytokines, growth factors and retinoic acid ...
