Figure 1: Observed and modelled dynamics of organic carbon during a mesocosm bloom experiment with the marine phytoplankton species Emiliania huxleyi. Our model results indicate that polysaccharide ...

The composition of cell walls varies depending on the function of the tissue and the species of plant. Primary cell walls surround expanding cells in young tissues, whereas thickened secondary cell ...

Polysaccharides—long chains of simple sugars—play central roles in biological systems, including supporting cell structure, storing chemical energy, and regulating cell recognition. But synthesizing ...

Molar mass plays a critical part in the potency, solubility and stability of polysaccharide-based vaccines. The production process involves an important depolymerization stage to decrease the ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how an anti-complement homogeneous polysaccharide from Houttuynia cordata ameliorates acute pneumonia with H1N1 and MRSA ...

HealthDay News — For children with nutritional iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), ferrous sulfate is associated with a greater increase in hemoglobin concentration at 12 weeks compared with iron ...

Hooking sugar molecules together to make strings called glycans—also known as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides—is one of synthetic chemistry’s most bedeviling challenges. Carbohydrates are ...

Recent advancements in cancer vaccine development have demonstrated their potential for precise tumor targeting through antigen-specific immune activation. Nevertheless, critical challenges persist in ...

Purified polysaccharide vaccines work by activation of B cells in a T-independent manner, producing predominantly IgM and little memory B cells. [1] [1] Protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccines (such ...
