Viscoelastic and transient network properties of hyaluronic acid as a function of the concentration.

Abstract:

:Rheological measurements on a high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid (from rooster combs) were performed to obtain information on the viscoelastic and temporary network characteristics of Hyaluronic Acid solutions as a function of the concentration. From rheological experiments, the critical concentration c* and the concentration dependency of the plateau modulus G degrees e were determined. Further on, structural parameters as Me, the average molecular weight of the polymer segments between entanglement points, and DN, the average distance between entanglement points, were estimated.

  • Fluid flow induced PGE2 release by bone cells is reduced by glycocalyx degradation whereas calcium signals are not.

    abstract::It has been hypothesized that bone cells have a hyaluronic acid (HA) rich glycocalyx (cell coat or pericellular matrix) and that this contributes to bone cell mechanotransduction via fluid flow. The glycocalyx of bone cells of the MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cell line and the MLO-Y4 osteocytic cell line were characterized. ...
