Treatment with Plasma Activated (Salt) Water Sterilizes Macromolecular Coatings While Maintaining Their Integrity and Functionality

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
PDMS samples were covalently coated with mucin glycoproteins and then treated with either plasma activated water (PAW) or saline (PAS) as a means of disinfection. The samples could be successfully sterilized without compromising the structural integrity or functionality of those coatings.

A Comprehensive Review of Our Current Understanding of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glycoproteins

Membranes, 2017
Human red blood cells (RBC), which are the cells most commonly used in the study of biological membranes, have some glycoproteins in their cell membrane. These membrane proteins are band 3 and glycophorins A–D, and some substoichiometric glycoproteins (e.

Red Meat Derived Glycan, N-acetylneuraminic Acid (Neu5Ac) Is a Major Sialic Acid in Different Skeletal Muscles and Organs of Nine Animal Species—A Guideline for Human Consumers

Foods, 2023
Sialic acids (Sias) are acidic monosaccharides and red meat is a notable dietary source of Sia for humans. Among the Sias, N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid (KDN) play multiple roles in immunity ...

The use of transgenic animals for xenotransplantation: An update

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 11, Page 2041-2052, November 2025.
One way to produce genetically modified pigs is to use somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This procedure involves removing the metaphase plate from a mature oocyte using micromanipulation and then transferring the modified nucleus from the donor somatic cell to the oocyte.

Isolation of N-acetylneuraminic Acid and N-glycolylneuraminic Acid from Pleurocybella porrigens

Journal of Health Science, 2009
Pleurocybella porrigens (P. porrigens )i s a traditional food consumed in Japan. Toxicity was first reported in 2004, following which a series of poisonings were reported in 2007. More than 59 people who consumed P. porrigens suffered from similar severe cryptogenic encephalitis, with an overall death rate of approximately 29%. P. porrigens is believed

Isolation and characterization of the trisialogangliosides from bovine adrenal medulla

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
Trisialogangliosides were isolated from bovine adrenal medulla by DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and Iatrobeads column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated by sugar analysis, neuraminidase digestion, and permethylation studies. The complete structures of

N-glycolyl chondroitin synthesis using metabolically engineered E. coli

AMB Express, 2020
N-glycolyl chondroitin (Gc-CN) is a metabolite of N -glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a sialic acid that is commonly found in mammals, but not humans. Humans can incorporate exogenous Neu5Gc into their tissues from eating red meat.

An In Silico Functional Analysis of Non-Synonymous Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Bovine CMAH Gene and Potential Implication in Pathogenesis

Pathogens, 2023
The sugar molecule N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is one of the most common sialic acids discovered in mammals. Cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) catalyses the conversion of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to Neu5Gc ...

Absence of Neu5Gc and Presence of Anti-Neu5Gc Antibodies in Humans-An Evolutionary Perspective. [PDF]

, 2019
The glycocalyx of human cells differs from that of many other mammals by the lack of the sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) and increased abundance of its precursor N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac).
