Serge Pérez, CNRS Emeritus Research Director at Cermav, has just published an e-book titled Foundations of Polysaccharide Science with Taylor & Francis (CRC Press). The book outlines the origins and natural sources of polysaccharides in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and algae. It describes the biosynthetic pathways and functional modifications of these molecules for a variety […]

A giant in the field of biomedical research, Stuart Arthur Kornfeld, MD (Figure 1), passed away in St. Louis on Sunday, August 17, 2025, following complications from Parkinson’s disease. Stuart was th...

Chirality has become a fundamental design principle to craft peptide materials. In contrast, the systematic exploitation of chirality to build glycan materials remains largely unexplored, despite the ...

Increasing plastic pollution, particularly in oceans, calls for a fundamental shift towards future-proof plastics throughout the circular economy. In a landmark

We introduce the first covalent activators of a C-type lectin. Using orthogonal functional assays, NMR, MS/MS, and computational modeling, we delineate mechanisms from a functional electrophile-first...

The MIRAGE (Minimum Information Required for A Glycomics Experiment) guidelines for mass spectrometry (MS) data were initially developed to standardize the reporting of instrumentation, data acquisiti...
