May 1981 in “Australian Journal of Biological Sciences” This study observed that rat dermal tissue cultures, rich in hair follicle cells, produce various glycosaminoglycans, including hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate, which change in synthesis and sulfation patterns over time.
March 2026 in “Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B Applied Biomaterials” This study found that a chitosan, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid scaffold improved wound healing in rats by promoting immune-stromal interactions, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue regeneration with ~91% wound closure by day 17 compared to ~63% in controls.
