Synthesis, α-mannosidase inhibition studies and molecular modeling of 1,4-imino-ᴅ-lyxitols and their C-5-altered N-arylalkyl derivatives [PDF]
A synthesis of 1,4-imino-ᴅ-lyxitols and their N-arylalkyl derivatives altered at C-5 is reported. Their inhibitory activity and selectivity toward four GH38 α-mannosidases (two Golgi types: GMIIb from Drosophila melanogaster and AMAN-2 from ...

The diverse N-glycosylation profiles of CD4+CD25- and CD4+CD25+ T cells in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis [PDF]
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is one of the most common organ-specific autoimmune diseases, characterized by chronic thyroid gland inflammation. Helper T (Th) CD4+ cells, whose surface receptors are highly glycosylated, are involved in the pathomechanism ...

Unique N-glycosylation signatures in human iPSC derived microglia activated by Aβ oligomer and lipopolysaccharide [PDF]
Microglia are the immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and become pro-inflammatory/activated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Cell surface glycosylation plays an important role in immune cells; however, the N-glycosylation and glycosphingolipid ...

Candida albicans Mannosidases, Dfg5 and Dcw1, Are Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Pathogenesis [PDF]
Candida albicans is an oral mucosal commensal fungus that transforms into an opportunistic pathogen under specific conditions, including immunosuppression. It causes oral and systemic candidiasis, which results in a significant health burden. Furthermore,
