Glyconeurobiology

Carbohydrate rich molecules containing glycolipids, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans in the nervous system have main roles during progress, regeneration and synaptic plasticity. The structural variety of the carbohydrate moieties renders them ideally suited as stage-specific biomarkers for numerous cell types leading to mediate interactions amongst recognition molecules, thereby contributing to the development of a composite molecular framework at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix of the cell. The excellent structural diversity of glycan chains and associated moieties allows for immense progressive opportunities that can leads to cell interactions alongside with cell matrix interactions.
