Glycosylation, and especially O-linked glycosylation, remains a critical blind spot in the
understanding of post-translational modifications. Due to their nature as proteins defined by …

Seasonal influenza A and B viruses are important human pathogens responsible for
significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. In addition, influenza A zoonotic viruses are a …

The hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) of influenza A virus possess antagonistic
activities on interaction with sialic acid (SA), which is the receptor for virus attachment. HA …

Since the emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 of clade 2.3.
4.4 b as a novel reassortant virus from subtype H5N8, the virus has led to a massive number …

Helicobacter species infections may be associated with the development of gastric
disorders, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia and gastric …

Membrane-associated mucins protect epithelial cell surfaces against pathogenic threats by
serving as nonproductive decoys that capture infectious agents and clear them from the cell …

The influenza A (InfA) virus, which poses a significant global public health threat, is routinely
classified into “subtypes” based on viral hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) …

Multivalent interactions between carbohydrates and proteins enable a broad range of
selective chemical processes of critical biological importance. Such interactions can extend …

Biomimicry of the mucin barrier function is an efficient strategy to counteract influenza. We
report the simple aminolyzation of poly (methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride)(PM) using …

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) exploit host glycans in airway mucosa for entry and infection.
Detection of changes in IAV glycan-binding phenotype can provide early indication of …
