Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with unique characteristics. HA possesses elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist

Following on from my previous post on biosimilars and biotherapeutics (or biologics), let's now take a look at some of the specific criteria for this kind of compound, which are not normally required

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Velcade (Bortezomib) for the retreatment of adult patients with Multiple Myeloma who had previously responded to Velcade therapy and relapsed

Hyaluronic acid (HA), or hyaluronan, is an ubiquitous, very high molecular mass polysaccharide that has applications in a variety

The involvement of Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in cancer development has already been described (see the post "Tumour microenvironment – the dark side of PGE2). Recently, Kurtova et al. confirmed this

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 2008 that 1.4 billion adults worldwide were overweight and of these 500 million were obese with risks for developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardio-vascular

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is important in many biological processes such as wound repair, tissue hydration and inflammation. HA is also a potential biomarker for diseases such as osteoarthritis, liver cirrhosis
