Investigation of the effect of structured hyaluronic acid surfaces on cell proliferation and expression of HA cellular receptors, CD44 and RHAMM

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the major components of the extracellular matrix; and may exhibit different biological functions, dependent on polymer molecular weight (MW). The signalling events performed by HA are mediated through interactions with its main cell receptors: CD44 and RHAMM. However,...
