Presents state-of-the-art applications in hyaluronan research, from hyaluronan’s physicochemical properties to its clinical role as a connective tissue marker and its surgical implications, particularly in ear, eye and orthopaedic surgery. Covers hyaluronan’s synthesis and catabolism, its role in cells, its interactions with specific binding proteins, and its role in the embryonic nervous system.
