American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that is increasingly linked to immune dysfunction and neuroinflammation. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are crucial in maintaining immune homeostasis, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ASD.

Nanobiotechnology‐Based Approaches for Targeted Glioma Therapy
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Nanoparticle systems cross the blood–brain barrier to deliver drugs precisely to glioma cells. Lipid, polymeric, and magnetic carriers enable controlled release, tumor targeting, and microenvironment modulation. These nanoplatforms enhance chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, improving therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity ...

Distribution of O-Acetylated Sialic Acids among Target Host Tissues for Influenza Virus. [PDF]
, 2017 Sialic acids (Sias) are important glycans displayed on the cells and tissues of many different animals and are frequent targets for binding and modification by pathogens, including influenza viruses.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective The transition from asymptomatic anti‐nuclear antibody (ANA) positivity to systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD) is associated with increased production of pro‐inflamamtory factors such as TNF‐α. Here we investigate whether the relative absence of inflammation in asymptomatic ANA+ individuals (ANA+NS) results from a lack of circulating

Possible Influences of Endogenous and Exogenous Ligands on the Evolution of Human Siglecs
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Sialic acids, a group of acidic sugars abundantly expressed in the tissues of deuterostome animals but rarely found in microbes, serve as a “signature of self” for these animals. Cognate sensors for sialic acids include Siglecs, a family of transmembrane

Presence of N-acetylneuraminic acid in the lung during postnatal development
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2020 Sialic acids, particularly N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), are present as terminal components of rich and complex oligosaccharide chains, which are termed glycans, and are exhibited on the cell surfaces, especially on epithelial cells.

Absolute bioavailability and intravenous pharmacokinetics of N‐acetyl‐D‐mannosamine in humans
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aims N‐acetyl‐D‐mannosamine monohydrate (ManNAc) is a naturally occurring monosaccharide that has attracted considerable attention for its potential in treating GNE myopathy, a rare autosomal recessive muscle disorder. Despite its promise as an oral treatment, the absolute bioavailability of oral ManNAc has not been determined and there has been no ...
