Activation1

  • Hyaluronan mimetics may extend late-life survival by blocking cell fusion

    Where this hypothesis actsThe naked mole-rat enzyme in aged tissue undergoing repeated injury

    What is proposedIncrease hyaluronan synthase 2 activity

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowUse controlled enhancement of the naked mole-rat enzyme in aged tissue, maintaining long hyaluronan chains between injuries

    Possible resultPossible suppression of pathological cell fusion through sustained availability of long hyaluronan chains
