16^th World Glycobiology Congress

Glycopathology

Carbohydrates are fundamentally considered as main bases of structural materials and energy for living creatures. Modern investigation’s in this zone has concentrated mostly on modest basic sugars and homopolysaccharides such as, starch, cellulose, glycogen, and chitin. During the last few decades, the academics have lifted their attention on composite systems like carbohydrates, especially proteoglycans, glycolipids and glycoproteins which are together mentioned to as glycoconjugates that displays the prospective of recognition markers in the biological system which also relates to other biomedical and clinical fields. The roles of glycans and glycoconjgates in cancer have been emphasizes, because a small modifications in glycosylation can tremendously regulate the complete pathway and mechanisms of cancer, which indicates to an indication as a biomarker growth leading to several therapeutics development in cancer research.
