Glycobiology of the olfactory system.
The olfactory system is a highly plastic region of the nervous system. Continuous remodeling of neuronal circuits in the olfactory bulb takes place throughout life as a result of constant turnover of primary sensory olfactory neurons in the periphery. Glycoconjugates are very important in olfactory development, regeneration and function. This article deals with different aspects of glycobiology...
متن کاملThe clinical relevance of glycobiology.
The study of protein-bound glycans dates back to the 19th century (1). Until recently these macromolecules have played second fiddle to their cousins, the nucleic acids and proteins. This is not surprising in view of the stunning advances during the second half of the 20th century in the DNA-RNA-protein paradigm, which Francis Crick called the Central Dogma. Since information transfer is a key ...
متن کاملChemical glycobiology.
Chemical tools have proven indispensable for studies in glycobiology. Synthetic oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates provide materials for correlating structure with function. Synthetic mimics of the complex assemblies found on cell surfaces can modulate cellular interactions and are under development as therapeutic agents. Small molecule inhibitors of carbohydrate biosynthetic and processing e...
متن کاملCardiovascular Glycobiology
Background: Remote ischemic perconditioning (RIPerC) has a promising therapeutic value to improve prognosis of acute myocardial infarction. Chronic comorbidities such as diabetes are known to interfere with conditioning interventions by modulating cardioprotective signaling pathways, such as e.g. autophagy. However, the effect of acute hyperglycemia on RIPerC has not been studied so far. Theref...
متن کاملGlycobiology of Leishmania donovani.
Leishmania donovani, the causative organism of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is one of the deadliest of the entire known Leishmania species. This protozoan parasite displays immense adaptability to survive under extremely harsh conditions. Cell surface glycoconjugates play a pivotal role in parasite virulence and infectivity. This review mainly highlights on the importance of these molecules and ...
