Every cell in nature carries a rich surface coat of glycans, its glycocalyx, which constitutes
the cell's interface with its environment. In eukaryotes, the glycocalyx is composed of …

In contrast to the heart or brain, the kidney can completely recover from an ischemic or toxic
insult that results in cell death. During recovery from ischemia/reperfusion injury, surviving …

Emotional responses such as fear are rapidly acquired through classical conditioning. This
report examines the neural substrate underlying memory of acquired fear. Rats were …

Completely revised and expanded to reflect the latest advancements in the field,
Polysaccharides: Structural Diversity and Functional Versatility, Second Edition outlines …

Polysialic acid (PSA) is a linear homopolymer of α2-8-N acetylneuraminic acid whose major
carrier in vertebrates is the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). PSA serves as a potent …

CD4+ CD56+ malignancies are rare hematologic neoplasms, which were recently shown to
correspond to the so-called type 2 dendritic cell (DC2) or plasmacytoid dendritic cells. This …

What determines whether cells remain in one place, retaining their associations with their
neighbors, or dissociate from these associations and move elsewhere? And, if they move …

Polysialic acid (PSA), a homopolymer attached to the neural cell adhesion molecule
(NCAM), serves as a modulator of cell interactions. Polysialic acid exhibits a highly …

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a cell surface glycoprotein which is thought to
mediate cell adhesion and recognition. During developmental stages, NCAM is highly …

N-CAM is abundantly expressed in the nervous system in the form of numerous structural
variants with characteristic distribution patterns and functional properties. N-CAM-180, the …
