Polymacromonomers consisting of oligostyrene side chains (700 ≤ M n ≤ 5000 g/mol) and
of a high molar mass polymethacrylate main chain are shown to exhibit a bottlebrush …

Ca−alginate gels were studied by small-angle X-ray scattering and rheology to determine
relations between chemical composition and concentrations of the alginate and the elasticity …

Hyaluronan (HA) has been shown to play crucial roles in the tumorigenicity of malignant
tumors. Previous studies demonstrated that inhibition of HA suppressed the tumorigenicity of …

κ- and ι-carrageenan in aqueous solution undergoes reversible sol/gel transition by cooling
or increasing concentration. The small-angle X-ray scattering profiles from carrageenans …

The gelation mechanism of κ- and ι-carrageenan with various types of monovalent counter
ions are considered by means of small-angle X-ray scattering. The extent of chain …

Alginic acid gels were studied by small-angle X-ray scattering and rheology to elucidate the
influence of alginate chemical composition and molecular weight on the gel elasticity and …

Objectives To clarify the usefulness of 3.0-T MR elastography (MRE) in diagnosing the
histological grades of liver fibrosis using preliminary clinical data. Materials and methods …

Objective To clarify the roles of hyaluronan (HA) in joint inflammation and the process of joint
destruction, using 4‐methylumbelliferone (4‐MU), an inhibitor of HA synthesis, in a mouse …

The carrageenans are a family of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from red seaweed, and
are conventionally classified into three major groups as κ‐, ι‐ and λ‐carrageenan according …
