Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hyaluronan (HA) is a natural glycosaminoglycan present in many tissues in all vertebrates. HA has various biological functions, which depend on its molar mass. HA has antioxidant properties; however, it can be readily degraded by reactive oxygen species. For many years, it has been used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, in ophthalmology, and in cosmetics. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying HA in other fields of medicine such as dentistry, skin wound healing, gene delivery, and tissue engineering.
