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.

The Prebiotic and Techno‐Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Hyaluronic acid and extracellular matrix: a primitive molecule? [PDF]

, 2010
peer reviewedHyaluronic acid, or hyaluronan, is a polymer made of the repetition of a unique disaccharidic unit, D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine, that can reach a molecular mass of 10(7) daltons.

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 ...

Abundance and size of hyaluronan in naked mole-rat tissues and plasma

Scientific Reports, 2021
Large amounts of ultra-high molecular weight hyaluronan (HA) have been described as the main cause of cancer resistance in naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber, NMR). Our work examined HA metabolism in these rodents more closely.

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 ...

Skin-specific knockdown of hyaluronan in mice by an optimized topical 4-methylumbelliferone formulation

Drug Delivery, 2021
Hyaluronan (HA) is abundant in the skin; while HA can be synthesized by the synthases (HAS1-3), HAS2 is the leading contributor. Dysregulation and accumulation of HA is implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases such as keloid scarring, lymphedema and ...
