Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbohydrates play a major role in a diversity of processes, which are encompassed in the areas of chemistry, biochemistry, biology and medicinal chemistry. Among the topics covered at the 29th International Carbohydrate Symposium (ICS2018), special attention is given to recent advances and emerging trends in carbohydrate research towards medical applications, including carbohydrates in therapeutics and diagnosis, glycosylation and disease, carbohydrates in inflammation and disease, glycosciences and personalized medicine and carbohydrate vaccines. The growing knowledge on the importance of carbohydrates in health and in disease progress, driving new therapeutic strategies, is the motto for this Special Issue. Contributions arising from the presentations at the Symposium within the context of the previously mentioned topics are welcome.
Speakers at the symposium are cordially invited to submit original research manuscripts to this Special Issue of Pharmaceuticals.
Prof. Dr. Amélia Pilar Rauter
