GlycoNet researchers are advancing #research tools to study #Siglecs. #glycotime #glycoscience
siglecdude.bsky.social Matthew Macauley @siglecdude.bsky.social · Nov 12
Excited to share our laboratory's research tools to study Siglecs along with some interesting discoveries with these tools. Lot of help from many group, but @zeinab-jc.bsky.social was the major driver of this work. Please reach out if you would like to try them out. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
An ultrasensitive and modular platform to detect Siglec ligands and control immune cell function
Siglec-liposomes are a multivalent and modular platform for profiling Siglec ligands and modulating immune cell function.

Very proud of the #glycotime field to come together for this:

"GlySpace Alliance is an international organization of glycoscience web portals that includes GlyGen (USA), Glycomics@Expasy (Switzerland), and GlyCosmos (Japan)."

www-soka-ac-jp.translate.goog/glycan/news_...
Letter of Intent (LOI) signing ceremony was held at university between the GlySpace Alliance, J-GlycoNet, and HGA. The representative of the GlySpace Alliance (Professor Nicolle Packer, Macquarie University) and the representative of J-GlycoNet and HGA (Professor Kenji Kadomatsu, Nagoya University, Tokai National Higher Education and Research System) signed the letter of intent in the presence of Director Nishihara and Vice Director Kinoshita of the Institute of Glycoscience and Life Sciences (GaLSIC)

Immune cells use sugar molecules on their surfaces to communicate—but these signals can be hard to study.
GlycoNet researchers at @ualberta.bsky.social developed balloon-like probes to help detect these subtle interactions, opening doors for future therapies.
