In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Evaluation of HSV-2 gE Binding to IgG-Fc and Application for Vaccine Development
Glycoprotein E (gE) and glycoprotein I (gI) are expressed as a heterodimer on the surface of Herpes simplex virus (HSV). Glycoprotein E binds Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and inhibits activities mediated by the IgG Fc domain, contributing to ...

Three-fold mechanism of inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection by the interaction of the spike glycoprotein with heparin [PDF]
Heparin has been found to have antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Here, by means of sliding window docking, molecular dynamics simulations and biochemical assays, we investigate the binding mode of heparin to the virus spike glycoprotein and the molecular basis for its antiviral activity.

LYVE-1, a New Homologue of the CD44 Glycoprotein, Is a Lymph-specific Receptor for Hyaluronan
The extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) is an abundant component of skin and mesenchymal tissues where it facilitates cell migration during wound healing, inflammation, and em- bryonic morphogenesis.

The use of chitin binding proteins for glycoprotein analysis [PDF]
The focus of the pharmaceutical industry has dramatically shifted in the past number of years. Traditional drugs were synthesised using chemical reactions have been replaced by recombinant glycoprotein molecules.

Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]
Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

On the origins of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus [PDF]
A possible explanation based on first principles for the appearance of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is proposed involving coinfection with HIV. The gist is that the resultant HIV-induced immunocompromise allows SARS-CoV-2 greater latitude to explore its own mutational space.
