Abstract
Background
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has a broad range of cosmetic and therapeutic applications due to its unique physicochemical properties and involvement in various essential biological processes, including cell signaling, wound reparation, and tissue regeneration.
Main body
In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of HA, including its history, physicochemical properties, roles, molecular biology, and biochemistry (including occurrence, biosynthesis, and degradation), as well as its chemical modifications and conventional and emerging production methods. We also examine HA's medical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications and its derivatives in arthrology, ophthalmology, wound healing, odontology, oncology, drug delivery, 3D bioprinting, and cosmetology. Finally, we discuss the potential role of HA in preventing Covid-19.
Conclusion
Hyaluronic acid, a naturally found substance, has shown immense potential in the clinic. Thus, it is imperative to highlight its applications in the diverse fields impacting the lives of patients and healthy individuals.
背景透明质酸(HA)具有独特的理化特性,并参与各种基本生物过程,包括细胞信号传导、伤口修复和组织再生,因此具有广泛的美容和治疗用途。正文在这篇综述中,我们全面概述了透明质酸,包括其历史、理化特性、作用、分子生物学和生物化学(包括发生、生物合成和降解),以及其化学修饰和传统及新兴生产方法。我们还研究了 HA 在医疗、制药和美容方面的应用,以及它在关节学、眼科学、伤口愈合、牙科学、肿瘤学、药物输送、三维生物打印和美容方面的衍生物。最后,我们讨论了 HA 在预防 Covid-19 方面的潜在作用。因此,必须强调它在影响患者和健康人生活的不同领域中的应用。
