Solubilization, Activation and Partial Purification of a Sialidase from Horse Liver
Using sialyl-methylumbelliferyl α-glycoside as substrate, sialidase in horse liver was detected as a membrane-bound enzyme. A yield of about 50% of sialidase activity was found in supernatant when solubilized in 0.1 M sodium-phosphate buffer pH 5.5 ...

Anti-influenza neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate induces canine mammary cancer cell aggressiveness. [PDF]
Oseltamivir phosphate is a widely used anti-influenza sialidase inhibitor. Sialylation, governed by sialyltransferases and sialidases, is strongly implicated in the oncogenesis and progression of breast cancer.

Thirty-Five-Year History of Desialylated Lipoproteins Discovered by Vladimir Tertov
Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of death in developed and developing countries. The atherogenicity phenomenon cannot be separated from the role of modified low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in atherosclerosis development.

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

Mammalian Neuraminidases in Immune-Mediated Diseases: Mucins and Beyond
Mammalian neuraminidases (NEUs), also known as sialidases, are enzymes that cleave off the terminal neuraminic, or sialic, acid resides from the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids and glycoproteins.

Assessment of Lectin Staining Biomarkers for GNE Myopathy Gene Therapy
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the UDP‐N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) 2‐epimerase/N‐acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) kinase (GNE) gene, which encodes a required enzyme for sialic acid (SA) biosynthesis.

Precisely Engineering Biomimetic Nanoparticles via Controlled Cell Membrane Coating
Precise engineering of cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles (CMNPs) requires coordinated control over particle size, coating integrity, and membrane leaflet orientation. This review integrates key synthesis parameters, assembly strategies, and analytical methods that govern these features, revealing how structural control underpins biomimetic function ...

Inhibitors of Human Neuraminidase Enzymes Block Transmigration in vitro
Cell migration to a site of inflammation is an important step of the immune response. This process is coordinated by cytokines, receptors, and the signal processing machinery of the cell.

From haemostasis to immunity: The expanding frontiers of platelet biology
Platelets are versatile cells whose functions extend far beyond haemostasis and thrombosis, actively regulating innate and adaptive immunity, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, liver regeneration, atherosclerosis and tumour metastasis. This demonstrates their central role in various physiological processes and multiple life‐threatening diseases ...
