Glycoconjugates are major constituents of mammalian cells that are formed via covalent
conjugation of carbohydrates to other biomolecules like proteins and lipids and often …

Glycosylation is the most abundant and diverse form of post-translational modification of
proteins that is common to all eukaryotic cells. Enzymatic glycosylation of proteins involves a …

Intestinal mucus forms the first line of defense against bacterial invasion while providing
nutrition to support microbial symbiosis. How the host controls mucus barrier integrity and …

This review provides insights on the impact of glycosylation in cancer biology and its
influence in the current approaches of targeted cancer therapies in the clinical setting. The …

Despite recent progress in understanding the cancer genome, there is still a relative delay in
understanding the full aspects of the glycome and glycoproteome of cancer. Glycobiology …

Siglecs are a family of sialic acid–binding receptors expressed by cells of the immune
system and a few other cell types capable of modulating immune cell functions upon …

Mucin type O‐glycosylation is one of the most diverse types of glycosylation, playing
essential roles in tissue development and homeostasis. In complex organisms, O‐GalNAc …

Simple Summary All cells are covered in a thick layer of sugar molecules known as glycans.
Changes to this sugar coat are common in cancer, and in particular cancer cells often …

O-glycosylation is a highly frequent post-translation modification of proteins, with important
functional implications in both physiological and disease contexts. The biosynthesis of O …

Aberrant glycosylation is a key feature of malignant transformation. Hypersialylation, the
enhanced expression of sialic acid-terminated glycoconjugates on the cell surface, has …
