Sialic Acids in Health and Disease
BiologicsVertebrate cell surfaces exhibit intricate arrangements of glycosaminoglycan polymers, which are primarily linked to lipids and proteins. Numerous soluble secreted proteins are also decorated with either individual sugar molecules or their polymers.

Light‐Harvesting Nanomaterials Based on Dyes for Energy Transfer and Amplified Biosensing
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Light harvesting (LH) in plants inspires researchers to develop artificial LH nanomaterials. Here, LH nanomaterials based on organic dyes are reviewed, considering fundamental challenges on aggregation‐caused quenching, excitation energy transfer, and exciton migration length.

Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging
BMC BiologyBackground Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.

Influenza A penetrates host mucus by cleaving sialic acids with neuraminidase
Virology Journal, 2013 BackgroundInfluenza A virus (IAV) neuraminidase (NA) cleaves sialic acids (Sias) from glycans. Inhibiting NA with oseltamivir suppresses both viral infection, and viral release from cultured human airway epithelial cells.
