Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …

A living radical polymerization (LRP) is a free radical polymerization that aims at displaying
living character,(ie, does not terminate or transfer and is able to continue polymerization …

Nanomaterials, such as metal or semiconductor nanoparticles and nanorods, exhibit similar
dimensions to those of biomolecules, such as proteins (enzymes, antigens, antibodies) or …

Carbohydrates are involved in a variety of biological processes. The ability of sugars to form
a large number of hydrogen bonds has made them important components for …

Current point-of-care lateral flow immunoassays, such as the home pregnancy test, rely on
proteins as detection units (eg antibodies) to sense for analytes. Glycans play a fundamental …

Depending on their size, shape, degree of aggregation and nature of the protecting organic

From the authors' opinion, this chapter constitutes a modest extension of the seminal and
inspiring contribution of Stowell and Lee on neoglycoconjugates published in this series [CP …

Biosurfactants (BS) produced by a variety of microorganisms show unique properties (eg

Mucin-related carbohydrates are overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells, providing a
disease-specific target for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we describe the design and …

A large variety of glycosylation patterns in combination with different ceramide structures in
glycosphingolipids provide a basis for cell type-specific glycosphingolipid pattern in …
