Abstract

Hyaluronan, nature's simplest, but still exceptionally versatile glycosaminoglycan, is currently the focus of attention across a wide front of research; from cell biology, morphogenesis, matrix organization, pathobiology to tissue engineering. This macromolecule has entangled me in a number of puzzling and challenging projects over the past 3 decades. These entertaining encounters are outlined in this retrospective.
