Viscoelastic Properties of Hyaluronan in Physiological Conditions [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Hyaluronan (HA) is a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is particularly abundant in soft connective tissues. Solutions of HA can be highly viscous with non-Newtonian flow properties. These properties affect the movement of HA-containing fluid layers with...
