Abstract

Glycans (oligosaccharide chains attached to glycoproteins) are a promising class of biomarkers, found in body fluids such as serum, saliva, urine, etc., that can be used for the diagnosis of disease conditions. Subtle changes in glycans resulting from altered glycosylation machinery have been reported during various diseases, including carcinogenesis. In this article, we detail protocols for the rapid, label-free analysis of glycans using a previously developed highly sensitive and selective electrochemical impedance spectroscopy-based biosensing diagnostic platform called "NanoMonitor." The glycosensor operation is based on the specific affinity capture of the target glycans on the sensor surface by glycan-binding proteins known as lectins. This glycan-lectin binding activity modulates the impedance of the electrical double layer at the buffer-electrode interface. Protocols for the preparation of glycoprotein samples and glycosylation analysis using NanoMonitor and lectin-based ELISA are described here. The data obtained using these protocols show that NanoMonitor is capable of distinguishing between glycoform variants of the glycoprotein fetuin and glycoproteins derived from cultured human pancreatic cancer cells with high se...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
