A microbe that is associated with good health and found in the lower part of the gut has been comprehensively analyzed and ...

Glycans are chains of sugars that attach to cells through proteins or lipids, changing their chemical characteristics. Glycans can be incredibly complex and branched in structure, contributing to ...

A microbe found in the lower part of the gut that is associated with good health has been comprehensively analysed and found to have a focused diet breaking down sugars locked away in mucus.. Using ...

The reversible attachment of an activated form of N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) acts as a molecular switch between the growth and arrest of cells, establishing a new role for cell surface glycans.

On the N-terminal, each Siglec has a V-set immunoglobulin (Ig) domain that recognizes sialic acid–containing glycans (Duan and Paulson, 2020). There are 15 human Siglecs and 9 murine Siglecs. Among ...

Every cell in the human body is covered by a layer of sugar molecules, also called glycans, which are involved in processes that are essential for life. Glycan molecules come in different shapes and ...

Another class of glycoconjugates are O-glycans where oligosaccharides are linked to proteins via the side chains of serine or threonine. Such post-translational modifications serve many functions. In ...

The Ronald Schnaar Lab is involved in the rapidly expanding field of glycobiology, which studies cell surface glycans, lectins, and their roles in cell physiology. Current projects in our lab study ...
