Abstract excerpt
The overproduction and deposition of hyaluronic acid (HA) of different sizes in the tumor microenvironment is associated with cancer metastasis. Here, the development of layer-by-layer (LbL) constructs containing HA of different molecular weights (i.e., 5.6, 618, and 1450 kDa) that mimic the HA-rich cancer extracellular matrix is described to study the effect of the HA's size on the behavior of gastric cancer...
