The competitive binding of HA and TGF-β to the membrane HYAL-2 and the downstream HYAL-2/WWOX/SMAD4 signaling is addressed; (3) the phase-separated proteins or small molecules in the HA matrices may contribute to the aberrant interactions, leading to inflammation and disease progression; (4) the role of HA and complement C1q in Alzheimer’s disease via connection with a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease WWOX is also discussed; (5) a hidden function is the inducible HA conformational changes that confer cancer suppression and, probably, retardation of neurodegeneration. This evidence concerns the gene WWOX and cancer.
