Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a relatively new polymer for the construction of drug delivery systems. CD44 and the receptor for HA-mediated motility play a key role in vivo for the receptormediated endocytosis of HA. Cellular uptake and the efficiency of tumor-targeted drug delivery are supposed to increase through utilizing HA as drug carriers. Currently, HA has provided a promising platform to physically encapsulate or chemically conjugate with various drugs. In this review, we presented the most latest advances in HA-based drug delivery systems and some forward-looking ideas are discussed.
Keywords: CD44, chemical modification, conjugates, derivatives, hyaluronic acid, nanocarriers.

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
