Summary Annotation Hyaluronan and its derivatives has developed very quickly in the last few years from a scientific novelty into an important new material for a diverse range of medical and biomaterial applications. This landmark conference focused on the most recent developments and applications in the use of hyaluronan in tissue repair and reconstruction, drug delivery systems, anti-cancer treatments and joint recovery and engineering. The entire range of hyaluronan progress is covered in depth by the more than 135 individual papers: Analytical chemistry; Structural elucidation and basic chemistry; Electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy; Production, purification and characterization; Quality in production systems; Chemical modification; Derivatives and properties; Cross-linking; Free radical modification; Physical characterization; Rheology; Aggregation phenomena; Interaction with water and solution properties; Cell biology; Control and regulation of HA synthases; Cell surface chemistry HA cell receptors and cell signalling Interaction with proteins and other biological ligands Biophysical aspects; Effects on pain receptors; Neurobiology; Role in organization of extracellular matrix; Role in development (embryogenesis): cell movement/migration; Medical applications; Uses in cartilage and wound repair; Inflammation; Wound regenerative healing; Surgery and tissue engineering; Viscosupplementation / osteoarthritis; Viscoaugmentation and viscoprotection; Anti-adhesion applications; Brug delivery systems; Binding onto tumor cells and metastases.
