Glycan Atlassing – another exciting work on the nanoscale organization of the glycocalyx! This approach enables the distinction of different cancer states.

GLYCAN ATLASSING: NANOSCALE ANALYSIS OF GLYCOCALYX ARCHITECTURE ENABLES FUNCTIONAL TRACING OF CELL STATE 🍭🔬🧬
Don’t judge a book by its cover - judge a cell by its cover! We can now trace how cell state is encoded in glycocalyx state. #glycotime #microscopy

A special week: 🎉Honored to receive the Waltrude & Friedrich Liebau Prize de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebau-Preis for promoting interdisciplinary crystallography with my ‘Protein Art’. I never dreamed my art would find its way into the hearts of distinguished scientists.

Absolutely! Really great to see how glycan tracking is possible at high resolution and in multiplex mode.

Super-resolution imaging of #glycans is on the rise! It's amazing to see how the difficult task of tracking sugars is being tackled.

Our Lectin-PAINT work is out! A super-resolution approach to study membrane-exposed glycans with nm resolution and in live cells. Multiplexed 8-colors imaging mapping heterogeneity in "glycotype" with single molecule resolution. Fantastic work of our Marrit! #Glycotime www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Multiplexed Lectin-PAINT super-resolution microscopy enables cell glycotyping - Communications Biology

A super-resolution method for single-molecule detection and tracking of glycans on the surface of living cells is developed. Glycan’s abundance and mobility are used to explore differences in glycosyl...

We've just published a new scientific preprint that dives into the spatial glycome using super-resolution microscopy.
Discover the critical role of sugars and take a look at our visualizations revealing their cell-wide presence. -> www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

ÅNGSTRÖM-RESOLUTION IMAGING OF CELL-SURFACE GLYCANS 🧬🎨🍬

The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy

This work was inspired by a tweet from Prof. Gordan Lauc, a distinguished biochemist and molecular biologist, emphasizing the significance of glycobiology.

Concanavalin A shows low IC50 values (half maximal inhibitory concentration) against various SARS-CoV-2 variants.
This work was made possible through a great collaboration with Dr. Heeyoung Kim and Prof. Ralf Bartenschlager.

Lectins, which are sugar-binding proteins, possess antiviral and virucidal properties. The aim is to preserve these beneficial effects while reducing their cytotoxic and mitogenic impacts. -> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
