A Novel Diagnostic Approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Glycosylated Ferritin

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The percentage of glycosylated ferritin relative to total ferritin (%GF) is a novel biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), showing diagnostic performance comparable to that of AFP and DCP. We developed the GFAD index by integrating age, sex, %GF, AFP, and DCP, achieving improved diagnostic accuracy with high sensitivity and specificity. ABSTRACT

Transcript correlation analysis for the identification of novel plant genes involved in iron metabolism and beyond: what next?

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Engagement of a Neighboring Lys Residue by a Salicylaldehyde‐Modified Glycomimetic Ligand Enables Potent and Selective Binding to DC‐SIGN Over L‐SIGN

ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 5, May 2026.
Mannose derivatives connected to the aminophilic salicylaldehyde tag show high binding affinity for C‐type lectin DC‐SIGN, favored by an imine bond with a protein's Lys residue in the ligand binding site. This reversible‐covalent binding interaction enables ligand selectivity for DC‐SIGN over the closely related L‐SIGN.

Fungal Polysaccharides as Next‐Generation Bioactive: Advances in Structure–Activity Mapping, Mode of Action, and Biotechnological Horizons

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal polysaccharides (FPs) represent a diverse class of bioactive macromolecules widely studied for their nutritional, therapeutic, and biotechnological value. This review synthesizes recent advances (2020–2025) in the structural characterization, biological functions, and translational potential of FPs.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum Glucosyltransferase Recognizes Nearly Native Glycoprotein Folding Intermediates [PDF]

, 2004
The UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (GT), a key player in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control of glycoprotein folding, only glucosylates glycoproteins displaying non-native conformations.

Recombinant Mannose-binding Lectin Protein and Anti-Mannose-binding Lectin Polyclonal Antibody Production

Journal of Life Science, 2009
The innate immune system is important for the first line of host defence against infectious agents, which have penetrated the mechanical barriers. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL or mannan-binding protein, MBP) is a serum protein that is synthesized in the liver as a part of the acute phase response. MBL binds to carbohydrate structures presented by a wide

Association Between Polymorphisms rs11003125 and rs7096206 of the MBL2 Gene and the Stages of Hepatitis B Progression in Burkina Faso: A Comparative Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health burden, with disease progression influenced by host genetic and immune factors, including variants in the mannose‐binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene. This study aimed to evaluate the association between MBL2 polymorphisms and clinical outcomes of HBV infection ...
