Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

Made up of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids, this meshwork helps protect endothelial cells. It modulates how well blood cells stick to vessel walls and communicate with endothelial cells, ...

The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the ...

As well as mammalian cells, many different pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites, also use glycoproteins extensively for diverse functions, in part similar to eukaryotic cells.

Researchers took aim at mucins, glycoproteins that protect cancer cells from drugs and the immune response, and engineered a revolutionary targeted tool for oncology and beyond. Deanna earned their ...

The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the pathogen, thus marking it as an intruder and triggering an immune response. For ...

Glycoproteins typically bind to receptors on the membrane of a host cell. Viruses that do not bud from the host cell membrane do not have an envelope, so they are called “naked” or ...

A. Nievergelt/adapted from Hoepfner et al. (2025) This protective sheath, called the glycocalyx, consists of sugar-rich proteins (glycoproteins). As the first contact to the environment, it determines ...
