Evidence for Intracellular Hyaluronan Intracellular Hyaluronan and Cell Growth and Motility Possible Roles for Intracellular Hyaluronan Concluding Remarks

Stephen Evanko: Stephen Evanko received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of New Mexico in 1990 and 1993, respectively. His work focused on the response of connective tissues to alterations in mechanical loading and the role of proteoglycans and hyaluronan in the material properties of tendon and fibrocartilage. He then joined the laboratory of Dr. Thomas Wight in the Department of Pathology, University of Washington, as a postdoctoral fellow, studying the role of hyaluronan and proteoglycans in smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. He is currently a research fellow in Cardiovascular Research at The Hope Heart Institute (Seattle, WA), where he continues to study hyaluronan in the biology of the artery wall and cardiovascular disease.
