7-O-, 9-O-, and 7,9-di-O-acetylated GD3 gangliosides can be prepared by chemical assembly of a tetrasaccharide as α-glycosyl fluoride that is coupled to sphingosine using a glycosynthase, followed by...

Eleven consortia from various scientific disciplines are set to launch projects of great value to science. But also to the economic and social prosperity of the Netherlands. For example, a consortium led by TU Delft will start work on a detailed virtual model of the Dutch energy system. In another project, a consortium of UMC Utrecht is developing an MRI scanner that can scan people in motion.

Several neuropathies, such as Guillain–Barré syndrome and myelin-associated glycoprotein neuropathy (MAG), are caused by antibodies targeting glycosphingolipids. Several studies have indicated that MA...

Novel influenza-like virus sequences previously identified in fish and amphibians were found to cluster as a sister clade of influenza B viruses, but have thus far remained uncharacterized. We demonst...

Recent discoveries show that RNA can be modified with sialylated glycans (termed glycoRNA), thus broadening our understanding of cellular glycosylation beyond traditional proteins and lipids. However,...
