Immune Response Modulation by Tumor-Secreted Glycosphingolipids [PDF]
, 2014 Although originally considered merely structural components of cellular membranes, glycosphingolipids (GSL) arenow recognized as having critical effects on cellular physiology, including proliferation, differentiation, viraltransformation and ontogenesis.

Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of the carbohydrate antigen N-glycolylneuraminic acid from glucose. [PDF]
Carbohydr Res, 2010 N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a non-human sialic acid, which may play a significant role in human pathologies, such as cancer and vascular disease. Further studies into the role of Neu5Gc in human disease are hindered by limited sources of this carbohydrate. Using a chemo-enzymatic approach, Neu5Gc was accessed in six steps from glucose.

An Overview of the Importance and Value of Porcine Species in Sialic Acid Research
Biology, 2022 Humans frequently interact with pigs, whose meat is also one of the primary sources of animal protein. They are one of the main species at the center of sialic acid (Sia) research.

Erythrocytes from GGTA1/CMAH knockout pigs: implications for xenotransfusion and testing in non-human primates [PDF]
, 2014 Background Pig erythrocytes are potentially useful to solve the worldwide shortage of human blood for transfusion. Domestic pig erythrocytes, however, express antigens that are bound by human preformed antibodies.

Role of sialic acid in brachyspira hyodysenteriae adhesion to pig colonic mucins [PDF]
, 2019 Infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae results in mucoid hemorrhagic diarrhea. This pathogen is associated with the colonic mucus layer, mainly composed of mucins. Infection regulates mucin O-glycosylation in the colon and increases mucin secretion as
