Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key raw material in modern biomedicine and the cosmetic industry. Its biological functions and application value highly depend on one core parameter—molecular weight. Molecular weight determines the rheological properties, water-retention capacity, permeability, and interactions with cell receptors of HA. Therefore, achieving precise control over its molecular weight is the technological … Continue reading
Why Should We Care about Antioxidants? Our bodies fight a “silent war” every day. External factors like air pollution, UV radiation, unhealthy eating habits, as well as the body’s normal internal metabolism, produce unstable molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are like “rust” inside the body—they attack healthy cells, damaging proteins, DNA, and cell membranes … Continue reading
Solubility is an exceptionally important concept. It is not only fundamental to chemistry but also deeply intertwined with our everyday lives. Solubility vs. Solubility Limit In chemistry, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and numerous industrial fields, “solubility” and “solubility limit” are two foundational and most frequently confused terms. While both describe the dissolution behavior of a substance … Continue reading
