Glycosylation and Glycation in Health and Diseases
About this book
Glycosylation and Glycation in Health and Diseases provides a comprehensive exploration of the essential biochemical processes, their implications in physiology, and their role in disease progression.
This book is divided into two key sections: the first focuses on glycosylation, an enzymatic process essential for cellular function, while the second covers glycation, a nonenzymatic reaction linked to aging and chronic diseases. It covers congenital glycosylation disorders, the biology of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and the critical role of the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) in inflammatory, neurological, cardiovascular, and cancer-related conditions.
A valuable resource for students, researchers, and industry professionals, this book highlights the significance of glycobiology in drug discovery, diagnostics, and therapeutic innovations. Key Features:
- Covers fundamental and advanced concepts of glycosylation and glycation.
- Discusses the role of glycans in cellular function and disease pathology.
- Explores AGE-RAGE interactions in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurological disorders.
- Highlights applications in biopharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and vaccine development. Readership:
Essential reading for students, researchers, and professionals in life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical fields.
