Hyaluronic acid promotes Lgr5+ stem cell proliferation and crypt fission through TLR4 and PGE2 transactivation of EGFR
{{output}}
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular matrix, binds to CD44 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). We previously demonstrated that both CD44 and TLR4, but predominately TLR4, mediated HA stimulation of Lgr5+ stem cell proliferation, crypt fi... ...
