hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan) is a glucosaminoglycan consisting of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine disaccharide units that is a component of connective tissue, skin, vitreous humour, umbilical cord, synovial fluid and the capsule of certain microorganisms contributing to adhesion, elasticity, and viscosity of extracellular substances.

Hyaluronic acidmethacryloyl (MW 10000) (HAMA (MW 10000)) is a derivative of Hyaluronic acid. Materials based on Hyaluronic acidmethacryloyl have been utilized in various biomedical research fields.

Hyaluronic acidmethacryloyl (MW 50000) (HAMA (MW 50000)) is a derivative of Hyaluronic acid. Materials based on Hyaluronic acidmethacryloyl are utilized in various biomedical research fields.

Hyaluronic acid Methacryloyl (HAMA) is a methacrylated form of hyaluronic acid that exhibits biocompatibility. It functions as a 3D printing hydrogel ink, characterized by rapid photosensitivity, quick gelation speed, and stable hydrogel properties. Upon UV exposure, it can rapidly initiate gelation with lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP). Additionally, when combined with tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) materials, such as pancreatic extracellular matrix (pECM), Hyaluronic acid Methacryloyl serves as a crucial source material for organoid culture.

Hyaluronic acid tetrasaccharide, a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue, serves as a substrate in enzymatic assays to characterize the activity of hyaluronidases and other hyaluronic acid-degrading enzymes.

β-D-Glucosamine pentaacetate is an N-acetylglucosamine derivative that has been shown to promote hyaluronic acid production.
