About this ebook
This book, now in an extensively revised second edition, provides a comprehensive summary of the latest knowledge regarding glycosignals and a thorough analysis of their involvement in not only cancers but also other refractory conditions such as chronic inflammatory disorders. Many relevant topics are covered, including the search for novel tumor epitopes related to carbohydrates, the assembly of glycoconjugates, the modulation of signaling pathways by glycosylation, and interactions between complex carbohydrates and their recognition molecules. The role of various research approaches, for example advanced mass spectrometry, high-resolution imaging, and bioinformatics, is closely examined, and the results of novel therapeutic trials targeting glycosignals are discussed. The book will be essential reading for students and young researchers with an interest in glycoscience. In presenting new results and approaches and identifying areas for future research, it will also be of benefit for specialists in the field.
