The reader will learn about the role of HA in different tissues as well as its biological activities triggered by the interaction with different HA receptors. A closer look is had at the involvement of HA in human pathologies such as cancer, kidney fibrosis and wound healing. Biotechnological and biomedical applications for HA such as scaffold generation and drug delivery, including the novel synthetic sulphated HA are explored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work will appeal to a wide readership within the extracellular matrix and hyaluronan field. It can serve as an introduction to the field for junior scientists but can also help senior scientists to gain a broader view of the field beyond their area of specialization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series \u003ci\u003eBiology of Extracellular Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e is published in collaboration with the American Society for Matrix Biology and the International Society for Matrix Biology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-06-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031303029\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-30300-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 215.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521761308812,"sku":"9783031303029","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031303029.jpg?v=1765492310","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031303029","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
