Increased expression of sialic acid in cervical biopsies with squamous intraepithelial lesions
Background Altered sialylation has been observed during oncogenic transformation. Sialylated oligosaccharides of glycoproteins and glycolipids have been implicated in tumor progression and metastases.

Membrane-enclosed multienzyme (MEME) synthesis of 2,7-anhydro-sialic acid derivatives [PDF]
Naturally occurring 2,7-anhydro-alpha-N-acetylneuraminic acid (2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac) is a transglycosylation product of bacterial intramolecular trans-sialidases (IT-sialidases).

Sialic acid and crystal binding [PDF]
We studied the role of cell surface sialic acid in the adherence of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals to Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells.Studies were performed with undifferentiated (crystal-binding) cells in subconfluent cultures and maturated (noncrystal-binding) cells in confluent cultures.

Sialic acid as a biomarker of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer
Background: Carcinogenesis is a multistep process where a healthy cell has initially a precancerous stage and finally an early cancerous stage. The process of carcinogenesis can be divided into three stages of initiation, promotion, and progression.

Sialic Acid Metabolism: A Key Player in Breast Cancer Metastasis Revealed by Metabolomics
Metastatic breast cancer is currently incurable. It has recently emerged that different metabolic pathways support metastatic breast cancer. To further uncover metabolic pathways enabling breast cancer metastasis, we investigated metabolic differences in

Diversity in the sialic acids [PDF]
Historical background It is now more than 50 years since N-acetyl-neuraminic acid was first discovered and subsequently characterized by several groups (reviewed in Roseman, 1970; Gottschalk, 1972; Rosenberg and Schengrund, 1976; Schauer, 1982; Faillard, 1989).

Sialic acid transporter NanT participates in Tannerella forsythia biofilm formation and survival on epithelial cells [PDF]
Tannerella forsythia is a periodontal pathogen implicated in periodontitis. This gram-negative pathogen depends on exogenous peptidoglycan amino sugar N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) for growth.

Let us study viruses and the role of sialic acids in their first step of reproduction, the attachment to cells. We begin our study with the help of the "Earth's virology course", created by Vincent Racaniello, with David Tuller and Gertrud U. Rey. The first virus that we will study is that of influenza A. Actually, "Earth's virology course" is a proper
