Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glycoconjugates play important an role in biological recognition, signaling, and disease mechanisms. They are complex biomolecules that are formed by the covalent binding of carbohydrates to proteins and lipids. Advances in the structural characterization, glycoengineering, and biomedical applications of glycoconjugates have enhanced our understanding of their functional significance, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative research on the structure, synthesis, and function of glycoconjugates, as well as their translational potential in drug development, vaccine design, diagnostics, and regenerative medicine.
We invite researchers from diverse disciplines to present their latest findings in the field of glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans, synthetic glycoconjugates, and their roles in health and disease. By compiling research from leading experts and emerging scholars, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in glycoconjugate research and their therapeutic applications.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Rosana Ribić and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Rajendra Rohokale, rajendra.rohokal@chem.ufl.edu (Guo Research Group, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
