There is a growing demand for the development of functional wound dressings enriched with bioactive natural compounds to improve the quality of life of the population by accelerating the healing process of chronic wounds. In this regard, a functional...
Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been and are now being increasingly integrated in prediction software implemented in bioinformatics and its glycoscience branch known as glycoinformatics. AI techniques have evolved in the past decades, and t...
Glycans are complex, yet ubiquitous across biological systems. They are involved in diverse essential organismal functions. Aberrant glycosylation may lead to disease development, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory diseases. Glycan...

Ranging from bacterial cell adhesion over viral cell entry to human innate immunity, glycan-binding proteins or lectins are abound in nature. Widely used as staining and characterization reagents in cell biology and crucial for understanding the inte...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Mulberry leaves have been used as traditional hypoglycemic medicine-food plant for thousand years in China. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) belongs to the category of X...
Glycans, the most diverse biopolymer, are shaped by evolutionary pressures stemming from host-microbe interactions. Here, we present machine learning and bioinformatics methods to leverage the evolutionary information present in glycans to gain insig...

In recent years, large-scale outbreaks of the green alga Enteromorpha prolifera in China's offshore waters have posed a serious threat. This study aimed to improve Enteromorpha polysaccharide (EP) enzymatic sugar production using the hydrolase system...
BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 25-30% of the general population and is characterized by the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) that can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis and cirr...

Winemaking generates large amounts of by-products, a well recognized source of phenolic compounds. However, less attention has been paid to the polysaccharide-rich fraction (PRF) and effects of fractionation techniques on its potential bioactivity. T...
The development of chemical sensors capable of detecting the specific glycosylation patterns of proteins offers a powerful mean for the early detection of cancer. Unfortunately, this strategy is scarcely explored because receptors recognizing the gly...
