Hyaluronan and Homeostasis: A Balancing Act
Open accessAbstract
Hyaluronan was first described as the mucus of the vitreous body of the eye (1). Its deduced structure revealed an acidic glycosaminoglycan made entirely of a repeating disaccharide (d-glucuronic acid β-1,3-N-acetylglucosamine-β1,4) (2), which existsin vivo as a polyanion. The ability to synthesize hyaluronan is probably a comparatively recent innovation in the evolution of metazoan organisms (3), but it is also present in the capsule of some pathogenic bacteria. Molecules of hyaluronan are generally of very high molecular mass, ranging from about 105 to 107Da, depending upon the tissue, but can also exist as smaller fragments and oligosaccharides under certain physiological or pathological conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
