Platelets are the primary cellular mediators of hemostasis and this function firmly acquaints
them with a variety of inflammatory processes. For example, platelets can act as circulating …

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been widely employed to assess diverse features
of glycan–protein molecular recognition events. Different types of qualitative and quantitative …

Carbohydrates play a pivotal role in intercellular communication processes. In particular,
glycan antigens are key for sustaining homeostasis, helping leukocytes to distinguish …

Lectins are capable of reading out the structural information contained in carbohydrates
through specific recognition processes. Determining the binding epitope of the sugar is …

At the surface of dendritic cells, C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) allow the recognition of
carbohydrate-based PAMPS or DAMPS (pathogen-or danger-associated molecular …

The dendritic cell-specific intracellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-
SIGN) is an important receptor of the immune system. Besides its role as pathogen …

The interaction of molecules with the surface of nanoparticles is important in many fields of
study, including drug delivery and nanoparticle toxicity. Solution-state NMR has the potential …

The evaluation of Bacteroides vulgatus mpk (BVMPK) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) recognition
by DC-SIGN, a key lectin in mediating immune homeostasis, has been here performed. A …

Due to their ability to recognize carbohydrate structures, lectins emerged as potential
receptors for bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Despite growing interest in investigating …

The C-type lectin DC-SIGN expressed on immature dendritic cells is a promising target for
antiviral drug development. Previously, we have demonstrated that mono-and divalent C …
