Abstract The Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycome is well known for its heterogeneity and shows
a significant degree of variation within populations. IgG glycome composition is influenced …

Boronic acids can reversibly bind diols, a molecular feature that is ubiquitous within
saccharides, leading to their use in the design and implementation of sensors for numerous …

Aberrant glycosylation plays a fundamental role in key pathological steps of tumour
development and progression. Glycans have roles in cancer cell signalling, tumour cell …

Herein we will review the role of glycans in the immune system. Specific topics covered
include: the glycosylation sites of IgE, IgM, IgD, IgE, IgA, and IgG; how glycans can encode …

Protein glycosylation and other post-translational modifications are involved in potentially all
aspects of human growth and development. Defective glycosylation has adverse effects on …

Immunoglobulin (IgG) glycosylation is a complex enzymatically controlled process, essential
for the structure and function of IgG. IgG glycome is relatively stable in the state of …

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive biomarkers, such as those from serum, are ideal for disease
prognosis, staging and monitoring. In the past decade, our understanding of the importance …

Most methods for the analysis of oligosaccharides from biological sources require a glycan
derivatization step: glycans may be derivatized to introduce a chromophore or fluorophore …

Most photoacoustic (PA) imaging agents are based on the repurposing of existing
fluorescent dye platforms that exhibit non‐optimal properties for PA applications. Herein, we …

1.1. General Considerations Structural intricacies of carbohydrate molecules and their
propensity to form varied linkages, substitutions, and branching patterns have fascinated …
