Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glycans have long been recognized as important structural components and functions in energy storage, but more recently, they have also been considered for their key role in constitution of cell glycocalyx, secreted products, biological fluids (plasma, urine, semen, saliva, breast milk), and for their implication in a variety of functions such as cell-to-cell interaction, locomotion, signaling, differentiation, and many others, including malignant transformation.
Despite the large amount of papers concerning glycobiology in the animal kingdom, there are numerous morphological, physiological, and molecular aspects that still require investigation.
Thus, original manuscripts and review articles dealing with glycans and glycoconjugates are invited for this Special Issue on “Glycobiology in Animals”.
