This study characterizes Cucumis melo agglutinin (CMA1), revealing its glycan-binding specificity and 3D structure, and compares it to the R-type lectin RCA1.

This paper develops novel glycan probes with a tri-functional linker for generating noncovalent and covalent arrays, revealing differences in glycan binding by various proteins on different array platforms.

This study shows that pathogen and human NDPK-proteins promote AML cell survival by activating the NLRP3-inflammasome in monocytes.

This paper identifies the Forssman glycolipid as a receptor for sheep polyomavirus and reports the first viral protein specifically binding to this antigen.

This study analyzes natural VP1 mutations in BKPyV to show some variants can enter cells without sialic acid, suggesting an alternative receptor.

This study characterizes the extracellular matrix and mycolic acid profile of Mycobacterium abscessus biofilms, revealing molecular changes linked to antibiotic resistance.

The paper identifies Tspan15 as a critical partner of ADAM10, showing their interaction and functional synergy in proteolytic activity.
