The Third Dimension of Reading the Sugar Code by Lectins [PDF]
Coding of biological information is not confined to nucleic acids and proteins. Endowed with the highest level of structural versatility among biomolecules, the glycan chains of cellular glycoconjugates are well-suited to generate molecular messages ...

ABSTRACT Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare, immune‐mediated neurological disorder that can be challenging to diagnose in postoperative patients due to atypical manifestations and overlapping conditions. This case report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of GBS following vascular surgery. We present the case of a 56‐year‐old man

Properties of ganglioside GM1 in phosphatidylcholine bilayer membranes
Gangliosides have been shown to function as cell surface receptors, as well as participating in cell growth, differentiation, and transformation. In spite of their multiple biological functions, relatively little is known about their structure and physical properties in membrane systems.

GM1 gangliosidosis (GM1) is a rare autosomal recessive neurogenerative lysosomal storage disease characterized by deficiency of beta-galactosidase (β-gal) and intralysosomal accumulation of GM1 ganglioside and other glycoconjugates.

Alzheimer’s Disease as a Membrane Disorder: Spatial Cross-Talk Among Beta-Amyloid Peptides, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Lipid Rafts [PDF]
Biological membranes show lateral and transverse asymmetric lipid distribution. Cholesterol (Chol) localizes in both hemilayers, but in the external one it is mostly condensed in lipid-ordered microdomains (raft domains), together with saturated ...

Impaired levels of gangliosides in the Corpus Callosum of Huntington Disease animal models
Huntington Disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by broad types of cellular and molecular dysfunctions that may affect both neuronal and non-neuronal cell populations. Among all the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex

Effect of serum on ganglioside uptake and choleragen responsiveness of transformed mouse fibroblasts
NCTC 2071 cells, transformed mouse fibroblasts, did not respond to choleragen when grown in chemically defined medium. When grown in medium containing 10% fetal calf serum, however, the cells accumulated cyclic AMP upon exposure to the toxin ...
