Combining carbohydrate substitutions at bioinspired positions with multivalent presentation towards optimising lectin inhibitors: case study with calixarenes. [PDF]
, 2011 Carbohydrate derivatisation and glycocluster formation are both known to enhance avidity for lectin binding. Using a plant toxin and human adhesion/growth-regulatory lectins (inter- and intrafamily comparisons) the effect of their combination is examined.

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.We unveil that CLC orchestrates the dual role of eosinophil recruitment via CCL26 and tissue remodelling via POSTN in allergic rhinitis, identifying it as a potential therapeutic target. ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic airway inflammation driven by a type 2 immune response, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its persistence and tissue

Advanced extracellular vesicle immunotherapy
FlexMat, EarlyView.A diagrammatic depiction of the therapeutic applicability of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in immunotherapy. This review explores the dual roles of tumor‐derived and immune cell‐derived EVs in cancer immunotherapy, discusses recent progress in EV engineering that improve their clinical utility, and evaluates their potential to augment existing ...

Sensing ligand binding to a clinically relevant lectin by tryptophan fluorescence anisotropy [PDF]
, 2011 Increasing insights into the involvement of endogenous lectins in disease processes fuel the interest to develop potent inhibitors. As a consequence, robust assay procedures are required. Due to their activity as adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors this

Galectin-1 sensitizes resting human T lymphocytes to Fas (CD95)-mediated cell death via mitochondrial hyperpolarization, budding, and fission. [PDF]
, 2005 Galectins have emerged as a novel family of immunoregulatory proteins implicated in T cell homeostasis. Recent studies showed that galectin-1 (Gal-1) plays a key role in tumor-immune escape by killing antitumor effector T cells.

Symmetric dithiodigalactoside: strategic combination of binding studies and detection of selectivity between a plant toxin and human lectins [PDF]
, 2011 Thioglycosides offer the advantage over O-glycosides to be resistant to hydrolysis. Based on initial evidence of this recognition ability for glycosyldisulfides by screening dynamic combinatorial libraries, we have now systematically studied ...

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.Natural products derived from plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and minerals contain diverse bioactive classes such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins, and phenolics. These natural products work through different mechanisms, including ROS inhibition, NF‐κB suppression, and cytokine regulation, and exhibit wide applications across ...
