Tissue Hydration: Due to its hygroscopic properties, HA helps maintain tissue hydration and turgidity. Lubrication: In the joints, HA is a key component of the synovial fluid, providing lubrication and reducing friction. Structural Support: HA contributes to the structural integrity of tissues, particularly in the skin and cartilage. Cell Proliferation and Migration: HA is involved in various cellular functions, including cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Wound Healing: It plays a crucial role in the process of wound healing by promoting cell migration and proliferation.
