Interesting study @jbiolchem found differences in binding to gangliosides between human and mouse Siglecs. This should be taken into consideration when using mice as a model in neurodegenerative diseases, infections and cancer. tinyurl.com/yckb4mt2
Nicki Packer @profsugar gives the first plenary at #Glyco27 & starts with saying we should take a broader view - if you don’t look, you won’t see. E.g., use Coomassie and StainsAll, sulphated glycans not oxidised with periodate, GC-MS with carboxyl reduction … Technology bias …
We’re thrilled to feature an incredible lineup of plenary speakers at #Glyco27. These experts will share cutting-edge insights and the latest advancements in glycomics across areas of health, including immunology, neuroscience and more! Register today: glyco27.org/en/begin
Our collaborative paper showing that FUT10 and FUT11 are protein O-fucosyltransferases (POFUTs) modifying proteins with EMI domains is out in @nchembio. Great collaboration with Prof. Robert Haltiwanger’s lab @UGAResearch, @CPC_usyd, @syd_health, @ozglyco. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Copenhagen Center for Glycocalyx is looking for talented Postdocs to work in cell biology, glycobiology, genetic engineering, and mass spectrometry. Do not hesitate to reach out! Find details at: lnkd.in/eyhWJQgv and lnkd.in/eKjmiCuCare
