CSF‐Compartmentalized Antibody Glycoprofiles in NMDAR Encephalitis Associate with Etiology and Functional Recovery

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective To characterize Fc‐glycosylation profiles in patients with anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor encephalitis (NMDARe) and assess their association with antibody compartmentalization (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] vs serum), disease triggers (viral, tumor‐related or idiopathic), and 1‐year outcomes.

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

Beyond PEGylation: Archaeal Lipids for Long‐Circulating Liposomes

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Archaeal lipid‐based liposomes, particularly those containing caldarchaeol (GDGT), were found to significantly prolong the circulation time of vancomycin in rats, matching the pharmacokinetic properties of PEGylated systems. These findings suggest archaeal lipids as promising non‐PEG excipients for parenteral applications to minimize drug clearance ...

Comparison of Receptor‐Mediated Endocytosis and Its Application to Enhance DNA Transfection by TFAMoplex

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
We developed an assay to distinguish cellular binding from internalization. Compatible with microscopy and high‐throughput screening, the method identifies ligand‐mediated uptake. Applying top candidates to a protein‐based DNA carrier enhanced transfection efficiency, providing a rational strategy to improve non‐viral gene delivery systems.

Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) in the gut microbiome

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2022
The 1013-1014 microorganisms present in the human gut (collectively known as the human gut microbiota) dedicate substantial percentages of their genomes to the degradation and uptake of carbohydrates, indicating the importance of this class of molecules.

Building mutational bridges between carbohydrate-active enzymes

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2022
The commercial value of specialty carbohydrates and glycosylated compounds has sparked considerable interest in the synthetic potential of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). Protein engineering methods have proven to be highly successful in expanding the range of glycosylation reactions that these enzymes can perform efficiently and cost ...

Role of carbohydrate-active enzymes in mycorrhizal symbioses

Essays in Biochemistry, 2023
Abstract Mycorrhizal fungi form mutually beneficial interactions with a wide range of terrestrial plants. During this symbiosis, the associated fungus provides mineral nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, to its host plant in exchange of photosynthesis-derived carbohydrates.

Enzyme promiscuity of carbohydrate active enzymes and their applications in biocatalysis

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2020
The application of biocatalysis for the synthesis of glycans and glycoconjugates is a well-established and successful strategy, both for small and large scale synthesis. Compared to chemical synthesis, is has the advantage of high selectivity, but biocatalysis had been largely limited to natural glycans both in terms of reactivity and substrates.

Carbohydrate-active enzymes: sequences, shapes, contortions and cells

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2016
The enzyme-catalysed degradation of oligo and polysaccharides is of considerable interest in many fields ranging from the fundamental–understanding the intrinsic chemical beauty–through to the applied, including diverse practical applications in medicine and biotechnology.

Polymeric Iminosugars Improve the Activity of Carbohydrate-Processing Enzymes

Bioconjugate Chemistry, 2015
Multivalent iminosugars have recently emerged as powerful tools to inhibit the activities of specific glycosidases. In this work, biocompatible dextrans were coated with iminosugars to form linear and ramified polymers with unprecedently high valencies (from 20 to 900) to probe the evolution of the multivalent inhibition as a function of ligand valency.
