Caon I, Bartolini B, Moretto P, Parnigoni A, Carava E, Vitale D, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2020 Jan; 295(11):3485-3496. PMID: 31932306
Hyaluronan (HA) is one of the most prevalent glycosaminoglycans of the vascular extracellular matrix (ECM). Abnormal HA accumulation within blood vessel walls is associated with tissue inflammation and is prominent...

Glycoconj J . 2016 Oct; 34(3):411-420. PMID: 27744520
Proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans modulate numerous cellular processes relevant to tumour progression, including cell proliferation, cell-matrix interactions, cell motility and invasive growth. Among the glycosaminoglycans with a well-documented role in tumour...

Viola M, Karousou E, DAngelo M, Moretto P, Caon I, De Luca G, et al.
Curr Med Chem . 2016 Jun; 23(26):2958-2971. PMID: 27281127
Background: Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the blood vessel wall, is the most common cause of cardiovascular pathologies. Hyaluronan, the major polysaccharide involved in this process, plays a pivotal...

Viola M, Karousou E, DAngelo M, Caon I, De Luca G, Passi A, et al.
Int J Cell Biol . 2015 Oct; 2015:208303. PMID: 26448750
Cellular microenvironment plays a critical role in several pathologies including atherosclerosis. Hyaluronan (HA) content often reflects the progression of this disease in promoting vessel thickening and cell migration. HA synthesis...

Glycoconj J . 2015 May; 32(3-4):93-103. PMID: 25971701
The hyaluronan (HA) polymer is a critical component of extracellular matrix with a remarkable structure: is a linear and unbranched polymer without sulphate or phosphate groups. It is ubiquitous in...

Moretto P, Karousou E, Viola M, Caon I, DAngelo M, De Luca G, et al.
J Diabetes Res . 2015 Apr; 2015:167283. PMID: 25834831
Cell microenvironment has a critical role determining cell fate and modulating cell responses to injuries. Hyaluronan (HA) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan that can be considered a signaling molecule....

Vigetti D, Deleonibus S, Moretto P, Bowen T, Fischer J, Grandoch M, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2014 Sep; 289(42):28816-26. PMID: 25183006
Changes in the microenvironment organization within vascular walls are critical events in the pathogenesis of vascular pathologies, including atherosclerosis and restenosis. Hyaluronan (HA) accumulation into artery walls supports vessel thickening...

FEBS J . 2014 Jul; 281(22):4980-92. PMID: 25040101
Cell behavior is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. The cell microenvironment is not only a scene in which various actors play a role, but is itself an active...
