Neuropilins (NRPs) are non-tyrosine kinase cell surface glycoproteins expressed in all
vertebrates and widely conserved across species. The two isoforms, such as neuropilin-1 …

Sialylated N-glycans play essential roles in the immune system, pathogen recognition and
cancer. This review approaches the sialylation of N-glycans from three perspectives. The …

Sialylation, or the covalent addition of sialic acid to the terminal end of glycoproteins, is a
biologically important modification that is involved in embryonic development …

Microglia cells are the unique residential macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS).
They have a special origin, as they derive from the embryonic yolk sac and enter the …

Sialic acids refer to a unique family of acidic sugars with a 9-carbon backbone that are
mostly found as terminal residues in glycan structures of glycoconjugates including both …

Human adenovirus 52 (HAdV-52) is one of only three known HAdVs equipped with both a
long and a short fiber protein. While the long fiber binds to the coxsackie and adenovirus …

Sialic acids are monosaccharides that normally terminate the glycan chains of cell surface
glyco‐proteins and‐lipids in mammals, and are highly enriched in the central nervous tissue …

The posttranslational proteolytic cleavage is a unique and irreversible process that governs
the function and half-life of numerous proteins. Thereby the role of the family of A disintegrin …

Selectins are a group of Ca2+-dependent, transmembrane type I glycoproteins which attract
cell adhesion and migration. E-selectin is exclusively expressed in endothelial cells, and its …

Metastatic breast cancer affects long‐term survival and is a major cause of cancer death for
women worldwide. The Metalloprotease‐Disintegrin ADAM8 promotes breast cancer …
