Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) promotes apoptosis in cancer cells, but not normal cells, and is critically involved in tumor rejection through natural killer (NK) cell-mediated immune surveillance. Oligosaccharides are involved in various aspects in carcinogenesis, and fucosylation is one of the most important oligosaccharide modifications in cancer. Here, we...
