## Abstract Hyaluronan (HA) has lubricating and buffering functions in joints. Mechanical load is a regulatory factor of HA metabolism in joints, and HA synthesis by synovial membrane cells is modulated by mechanical load. However, the effects of mechanical load on HA catabolism by hyaluronidase (H

## Abstract It is generally known that low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) accelerates peripheral nerve tissue regeneration. However, the precise cellular mechanism involved is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine how the Schwann cells respond directly to LIPUS stimuli. Thu
To investigate both the involvement of chemokines in general and the relative importance of specific chemokines in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we characterized the effect of the monokines tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa) and interleukin-lp (IL-1p) on the synthesis of neutrophil-activating factors by sy
