Popis: Aberrant glycosylation is a common feature of neoplastic cells. Although described for many years, the role of aberrant patterns of glycosylation is not fully understood. Our group has been focusing on the role of glycosylation in cell:matrix interactions, such as adhesion, spreading and migration on defined substrata (e.g., laminin and fibronectin). Animal lectins, such as galaptins, also seem to be involved in these processes.
