Hyaluronan is a widely distributed and very important biological molecule of the polysaccharide family. Many of the functional characteristics of this substance can be retained when hyaluronan is transformed from a water-soluble substance into a structural biomaterial. This article highlights the potential applications of these materials in the regeneration of injured tissue.
