A new player in the game: platelet-derived extracellular vesicles in dengue hemorrhagic fever
Platelets, 2020 Thrombocytopenia and vascular leakage are clinical hallmarks in dengue hemorrhagic fever. Sung et al. present a new mechanism where platelet-derived extracellular vesicles participate in increasing vascular permeability during dengue virus infection in ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presents the first demonstration of stable sub‐50‐micron single‐cell GPM vesicles fabricated through the intrinsic self‐assembly of an amphiphilic copolymer. Hierarchical assembly of cell containing GPM vesicles into microspheres enable tunable, sustained cell delivery with immune protection.

Taxonomic Distribution and Molecular Evolution of Mytilectins
Marine Drugs, 2023 R-type lectins are a widespread group of sugar-binding proteins found in nearly all domains of life, characterized by the presence of a carbohydrate-binding domain that adopts a β-trefoil fold.

, 2016 In this chapter, a comprehensive overview of the known ligands for the C-type lectins (CTLs) is provided. Emphasis has been placed on the chemical structure of the glycans that bind to the different CTLs and the amount of structural variation (or overlap) that each CTL can tolerate.

C-type lectins facilitate tumor metastasis
Oncology Letters, 2016 Metastasis, a life-threatening complication of cancer, leads to the majority of cases of cancer-associated mortality. Unfortunately, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer metastasis remain to be fully elucidated. C-type lectins are a large group of proteins, which share structurally homologous carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents a human Bone (and Bone Marrow)‐on‐a‐Chip model based on native human bone scaffolds and autologous cells. Dynamic perfusion and sequential cell seeding replicate the physiological bone remodeling process in vitro, enabling the long‐term culture of functional, mature bone marrow immune subpopulations.

Variation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae lipooligosaccharide directs dendritic cell-induced T helper responses. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Gonorrhea is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases in the world. A naturally occurring variation of the terminal carbohydrates on the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) molecule correlates with altered disease states.

C-type lectins in immunity: recent developments
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2015 C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) comprise a large superfamily of proteins, which recognise a diverse range of ligands, and are defined by the presence of at least one C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD). Of particular interest are the single extracellular CTLD-containing receptors of the 'Dectin-1' and 'Dectin-2' clusters, which associate with signalling ...

How C-type lectins detect pathogens. [PDF]
Cellular microbiology, 2005 Glycosylation of proteins has proven extremely important in a variety of cellular processes, including enzyme trafficking, tissue homing and immune functions. In the past decade, increasing interest in carbohydrate-mediated mechanisms has led to the identification of novel carbohydrate-recognizing receptors expressed on cells of the immune system ...
