Probing the Anti-Cancer Potency of Sulfated Galactans on Cholangiocarcinoma Cells Using Synchrotron FTIR Microspectroscopy, Molecular Docking, and In Vitro Studies

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
Sulfated galactans (SG) isolated from red alga Gracilaria fisheri have been reported to inhibit the growth of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells, which was similar to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted drug, cetuximab.

Rhamnogalacturonan‐II Dimerisation Reinforces Salt Resistance in Sugar Beet

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3082-3100, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity stress predominantly affects negatively charged cell wall polymers, for example, pectin. Excess Na+ ions interact physically and affect growth in stress‐sensitive plants. However, the salinity resistance of sugar beet cell walls remains unclear.

Compartmentalization of galactan biosynthesis in mycobacteria

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry
Galactan polymer is a prominent component of the mycobacterial cell wall core. Its biogenesis starts at the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane by a build-up of the linker disaccharide [rhamnosyl (Rha) - N-acetyl-glucosaminyl (GlcNAc) phosphate] on the decaprenyl-phosphate carrier.
