Our prior studies demonstrated that exogenous supplements of pure hyaluronan (HA) tetramers (HA4) dramatically upregulate elastin matrix synthesis by adult vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Some studies suggest that exogenous HA likely only transiently contacts and signals cells, and may elicit d
