The Glycosaminoglycan/Glycan Interactome: A Bioinformatic Platform

Meer over het boek

The book explores the complex glycan/glycosaminoglycan glycocalyx surrounding cells, highlighting its role as an information-rich system known as the glyco-code. This code regulates cell behavior through various structural modifications and is crucial during tissue morphogenesis. Advances in glycobiology techniques enable high-throughput analyses, enhancing our understanding of the glyco-code's implications for health, disease, and strategies to address viral and bacterial infections. The precision of these methods promises to unlock critical insights for repair biology and infection management.
