Semaphorin 3E‐Plexin‐D1 Pathway Downstream of the Luteinizing Hormone Surge Regulates Ovulation, Granulosa Cell Luteinization, and Ovarian Angiogenesis in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Semaphorin 3E (Sema3E)‐Plexin‐D1 pathway mediated by C/EBPα and C/EBPβ downstream of the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge plays important roles in the mouse preovulatory ovary. Timely activation and suppression of this pathway during the preovulatory stage are crucial for ovulation, corpus luteum formation, and proper angiogenesis.

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.

Wireless In Situ Catalytic Electron Signaling‐Mediated Transcriptomic Reprogramming for Neuron Regeneration via Adaptable Antennas

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wireless‐charging sustained oxygen release from conductive microgels (SOCO) served as an antenna and an on‐demand O2 release for nerve regeneration is developed. Introducing “electromagnetic messenger”, using external alternating magnetic field (AMF) to enhance catalytic oxygen release and electrical stimulation to promote the reconstruction of blood

Glycans from Fasciola hepatica modulate the host immune response and TLR-Induced maturation of dendritic cells [PDF]

, 2015
Helminths express various carbohydrate-containing glycoconjugates on their surface, and they release glycan-rich excretion/secretion products that can be very important in their life cycles, infection and pathology. Recent evidence suggests that parasite

Signaling C-type lectin receptors in antimycobacterial immunity

PLOS Pathogens, 2017
The mammalian innate immune system is composed of phagocytes such as macrophages and dendritic cells that serve as the first line of defense against microbial infections. These cells express various pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of or inside microorganisms [1].

O‐GalNAc Glycosylation Activates MBL‐Mediated Complement and Coagulation Cascades to Drive Organotropic Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upregulated glycosyltransferase GALNT9 in neuroendocrine (NE) carcinomas increases O‐GalNAc glycosylation on cell membrane proteins, particularly Annexin‐A2 (ANXA2). Elevated O‐GalNAc glycan induces the binding of NE cancer cells to mannose binding lectin 2 (MBL2), activating the MBL‐MBL associated serine protease (MBL‐MASP) complement pathway in the ...

Human Galectins Induce Conversion of Dermal Fibroblasts into Myofibroblasts and Production of Extracellular Matrix: Potential Application in Tissue Engineering and Wound Repair [PDF]

, 2011
Members of the galectin family of endogenous lectins are potent adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors. Their multi-functionality opens possibilities for their use in bioapplications. We studied whether human galectins induce the conversion of human dermal
