Preface: |
| Seikagaku Corporation is celebrating its
50th anniversary, and as part of this event, is opening
this web-site "glycoforum". Glycoforum is intended
as a public service to present short articles on current,
exciting research activities in glycobiology. These articles
are intended to reach the wider research community and
not solely the specialists in the particular subject matter
being featured. We are delighted that Seikagaku has chosen the topic of "The Science of Hyaluronan Today" as the first series for Glycoforum, and that we were asked to organize and edit it. This series will focus on one of the most fascinating macromolecules in nature, and one which is currently receiving a lot of attention from both the research and commercial sectors. The first article, which follows below, will introduce hyaluronan and provide a background for the articles to follow, approximately two every 3 months over the next 2 years. We hope that you will find these articles informative, interesting and entertaining. We welcome any comments or questions you may have about the articles in this series at any time. |
