What is the function of hyaluronic acid?
Hello! Hyaluronic acid Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the main matrix components of human skin epidermis and dermis. Its physiological function is to make water enter the intercellular space, combine with protein to form protein gel, bond cells together, play a normal role in cell metabolism, keep cell moisture, protect cells from pathogenic bacteria, accelerate the recovery of skin tissue, improve the ability of wound healing and regeneration, reduce scars and enhance immunity. At the same time, hyaluronic acid is the main component of extracellular matrix of proliferating cells and migrating cells, especially in embryonic tissues. Hyaluronic acid, because of its own characteristics, can keep the isolation between cells, make cells easy to move, migrate and proliferate, and prevent cell differentiation. During development, the role of hyaluronic acid seems to be to prevent cells from differentiating prematurely before they proliferate or migrate in place.

In medicine, hyaluronic acid (HA), as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, plays a unique role in treating burns, scalds, frostbite, artificial skin and so on.
