General description

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a linear polysaccharide of alternating D-glucuronic acid, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine found in the extracellular matrix. HA is commonly chemically modified to form covalently crosslinked hydrogels. Other properties of HA include cell surface receptors CD44 and RHAMM recognition and degradation via hyaluronidases.

Application

HA is increasingly used for the following biomedical applications:
  • Cell migration
  • Angiogenesis
  • Viability
  • Proliferation

Our low endotoxin HA is tested for both endotoxin (< 100 EU/g) and bioburden (< 10 CFU/g) levels, so you can choose which material is right for your research.

Rational Design of ECMs Toward Cancer Immunotherapy

Engineered ECMs enhance immune therapy in cancer treatment by supporting cells and tissues and modulating immune response. They improve immune cell maturation, expansion, and regulation through biomaterial manipulation, acting as frameworks or carriers for enhanced tumor immunotherapy.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
