Passi, A.
- Abstract
The article offers information on a study which addresses a very intriguing aspect of hyaluronan metabolism. It mentions that the concentration of hyaluronan depends on a very finely tuned system that involves cell metabolism in several ways, ranging from energy level to genetic and epigenetic control of the expression of the three hyaluronan synthases. It states that hyaluronan fragments can be included in the family of matrikines, the biologically active fragments of the extracellular matrix.
