Sialic acids (SIAs) are bioactive compounds present in glycoproteins and glycolipids, playing key roles in human physiology. N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), the only sialic acid synthesized by humans, contributes to neurodevelopment and immune function,

Silencing porcine CMAH and GGTA1 genes significantly reduces xenogeneic consumption of human platelets by porcine livers [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A profound thrombocytopenia limits hepatic xenotransplantation in the pig-to-primate model. Porcine livers also have shown the ability to phagocytose human platelets in the absence of immune-mediated injury.

▪ Abstract Virus‐glycan interactions play a crucial role in the infection process of many viruses. NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for studying these interactions at the molecular level. In this article, we review several published papers and reports that have highlighted the application of NMR spectroscopy in understanding the complex ...

Anti‐pig antibodies in swine veterinarian serum: Implications for clinical xenotransplantation
Abstract Recent clinical xenotransplantation and human decedent studies demonstrate that clinical hyperacute rejection of genetically engineered porcine organs can be reliably avoided but that antibody mediated rejection (AMR) continues to limit graft survival.

Sialic acids in biological and therapeutic processes: opportunities and challenges [PDF]
It is now well documented that carbohydrates play multiple roles in biological processes, and hence are interesting targets for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry programmes.

N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a generic form of sialic acid, is enzymatically synthesized by cytidine-5′-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH).

Comparison of separation techniques for the elucidation of IgG N-glycans pooled from healthy mammalian species [PDF]
The IgG N-glycome provides sufficient complexity and information content to serve as an excellent source for biomarker discovery in mammalian health.

Novel mechanism for the generation of human xeno-autoantibodies against the nonhuman sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid [PDF]
The nonhuman sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is metabolically incorporated into human tissues from certain mammalian-derived foods, and this occurs in the face of an anti-Neu5Gc “xeno-autoantibody” response.

Glycosylation of glycolipids in cancer: basis for development of novel therapeutic approaches [PDF]
Altered networks of gene regulation underlie many pathologies, including cancer. There are several proteins in cancer cells that are turned either on or off, which dramatically alters the metabolism and the overall activity of the cell, with the complex ...

In insects, for a long time, it was generally accepted that members of insect do not have sialic acids which are typical terminal glycans of cells surface glycolipids and glycoproteins, and thus especially important in cell interactions and signaling events.
