Hyaluronic Acid Degeneration in Invertebral Disc Health
AMSBIO reports how a collaborative team of international biomedical researchers** have investigated expression and activity of hyaluronidases (HYAL-1, HYAL-2 and HYAL-3) in human intervertebral spine discs. Hyaluronic acid plays an essential role in water retention of the intervertebral disc (IVD) providing flexibility and shock absorbance in the spine. Hyaluronic acid gets degraded by hyaluronidases (HYALs), and some of the resulting […]
