The use of several promising drugs as treatments for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases has long been limited due to their toxic side effects. Wang et al. demonstrate how these barriers could be overcome with a novel antibody-drug conjugate.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, especially when diagnosed at a later stage because of the lack of accurate biomarkers. Linking these biomarkers to cellular modifications is a promising approach to improve tumor evaluation. In this blog article, we review a study that explores the role of N-glycan modifications in pancreatic tumors.
Glycosylation networks have massive biomarker potential for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. This study explores yet another alteration in breast cancer glycan profile: bisecting GlcNAc.
The study closely examined the glycan structures and glycoprotein expression in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, leading to the discovery of a novel biomarker: HOMER3. This article elaborates on preliminary results about the role of HOMER3 in bladder cancer metastasis.
Since it was first described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer, physicians and scientists have been searching for clues to the debilitating neurological condition Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To diagnose and treat the disease at its earliest stages, researchers are searching for additional biomarkers that can help guide our understanding of the disease.
This study explores how the sickle cell trait could help millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa, a high-risk malaria zone, develop resistance against malaria.
Hypersialylation of glycans is one of the key drivers in cell differentiation in cancer, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. In this article, we review a study investigating how this mechanism led to the differentiation of tumor monocytes into malignant tumor macrophages associated with low survival rates in patients.
In this publication highlight, we review the use of LIBRA-seq to characterize monoclonal antibodies from a recovered SARS-CoV donor, expanding our understanding of cross-reactive antibodies for coronavirus.
In this publication highlight, we review a study examining the impact of macrophage-derived microparticles on the tumor microenvironment and their synergistic effect on anti-PD-1 antibody activity.
