This book presents the latest breakthrough results in glycobiology
regarding the roles of glycans in relation to quality control and
transport of protein, the immune system, viral infection, stem
cells, the neural system, and various diseases such as cancer,
diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, muscular
dystrophy, and schizophrenia. Although glycoscience has long been
regarded as a very specialized field with no simple analytical
method, the recent explosive progress in research continues to
provide limitless evidence that glycan chains are the key component
in various biological phenomena. Cell surface glycans, for example,
change with developmental stages or environmental conditions and
thus represent a "face" of the cell that is utilized for
identification of iPS and ES cells and as biomarkers in diagnosis
or detection of cancer. This book comprises 17 chapters, each of
which poses outstanding "glyco-related" questions enabling
non-specialists to have a clearer idea about what the future
direction for further investigation of glycans in their own
research fields will be. Also including basic information to
understand the nature of glycans, this title serves as an excellent
"textbook" for researchers in diverse research fields who are not
familiar with, but nevertheless interested in, glycan chains or
sugar chains.
