Aberrant glycans are a hallmark of cancer states. Notably, emerging evidence has
demonstrated that the diagnosis of cancers with tumour-specific glycan patterns holds great …

Recent progress in glycobiology has revealed that cell surface oligosaccharides play an
essential role in recognition events. More precisely, these saccharides may be complexed …

Carbohydrates are known to mediate a large number of biological and pathological events.
Small and macromolecules capable of carbohydrate recognition have great potentials as …

Recently, a gene cluster involving a phosphorylase specific for lacto-N-biose I (LNB; Galβ1–
3GlcNAc) and galacto-N-biose (GNB; Galβ1–3GalNAc) has been found in Bifidobacterium …

The lectin from the common mushroom Agaricus bisporus, the most popular edible species
in Western countries, has potent antiproliferative effects on human epithelial cancer cells …

The influences of glycans impact all biological processes, disease states, and pathogenic
interactions. Glycan-binding proteins (GBPs), such as lectins, are decisive tools for …

In the post genomic era, glycomics—the systematic study of all glycan structures of a given
cell or organism—has emerged as an indispensable technology in various fields of biology …

We have assembled references of 700 articles published in 2001 that describe work
performed using commercially available optical biosensors. To illustrate the technology's …

The field of biosensor development now encompasses several areas specifically geared
toward the rapid and sensitive detection, identification, and quantification of target analytes …

Sulfated glycans have been found to be associated with various diseases and therefore
have significant potential in molecular pathology as biomarkers. Although lectins are useful …
