The study of glycan analysis is pivotal in understanding cellular communication, protein functionality and the therapeutic efficacy of glycoproteins. Mass spectrometry techniques have emerged as ...

A recent study published in Engineering introduces GlycoPro, a novel high-throughput sample-processing platform that aims to transform the field of multi-glycosylation-omics analysis. Glycosylation, a ...

A group from Nagoya University in Japan has developed a simple, accurate, and sensitive method for measuring polysialic acid, a unique acidic glycan found in the brain. Polysialic acid fluctuates in ...

Hospitals worldwide, including Germany, face a growing problem with fungal infections, with an estimated 6 million cases and ...

Glycans are chains of sugars that attach to cells through proteins or lipids, changing their chemical characteristics.

Sugars known as glycans form dense envelopes around cells. But they're often ignored in biological investigations because, unlike DNA, proteins and other cellular components, tools to study them are ...

Researchers synthesized precise replicas of fungal sugars to understand the immune response. By reading the unique sugar “fingerprint” of each Candida species, they see which targets the immune system ...

TegMine Therapeutics has linked with Boehringer Ingelheim to advance the new two-factor antibody system for developing ADCs.

The human intestine is densely populated by a microbial consortium whose metabolic activities are influenced by, among others, bifidobacteria. However, the genetic basis of adaptation of ...

HIV, Ebola and most recently, COVID-19 viruses have had an enormous impact on our societies world-wide. All these viruses are 'enveloped viruses,' viruses that have an exterior envelope that surrounds ...

Certain glycans -- sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains -- containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic properties that support human health. Identifying enzymes capable of breaking ...
