Hyaluronan Synthesis, Catabolism, and Signaling in Neurodegenerative Diseases by Larry S. Sherman, Steven Matsumoto, Weiping Su, Taasin Srivastava, Stephen A. Back

“…Hyaluronidases that digest high molecular weight HA into smaller fragments are also elevated following CNS insults and can generate HA digestion products that have unique biological activities. A number of studies, for example, suggest that both the removal of high molecular weight HA and the accumulation of hyaluronidase-generated HA digestion products can impact CNS injuries through mechanisms that include the regulation of progenitor cell differentiation and proliferation. …”
