Purified glycolipids containing galactose-α(1-4)galactose bind with Shiga toxin of Shigella dysenteriae 1 and Shiga-like toxins of Escherichia coli with high specificity in both thin-layer ...
Proteins are digested into peptides for presentation by MHC to T cells. A recent paper in Science reports that some lipids also undergo processing in order to be presented by the unconventional class ...
Sensors that selectively detect glycolipids—molecules that are involved in infection, inflammation, and cancer progression—are hard to make. Most sensors target either the hydrophilic sugar head group ...
Current interest in glycolipid-based drugs started with work by a Japanese beer company. In the early 1990s, chemists at Kirin Brewery isolated a family of glycolipid natural products called ...

Randomized phase II study of personalized peptide vaccination with cyclophosphamide pretreatment in refractory advanced biliary tract cancer patients. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2014 ...
Lipids, i.e. fats and fat-like substances, arise all over the human body. They are the body’s most important energy storage system and are crucial structural components of cell membranes. Compounds ...
Leprosy has existed since at least Biblical times, yet scientists still don’t know exactly how Mycobacterium leprae causes the disease’s symptoms. Though antibiotics can treat the illness, researchers ...
