Abstract excerpt
Surface-presented glycans (complex carbohydrates) are docking sites for adhesion/growth-regulatory galectins within cell-cell/matrix interactions. Alteration of the linker length in human galectin-8 and single-site mutation (F19Y) are used herein to illustrate the potential of glycodendrimersomes with programmable glycan displays as a model system to reveal the functional impact of natural sequence variations in...
