Chemists have designed a carbohydrate-based molecule that can surround and strangle bone cancer cells by self-assembling into a tangled web of nanofibers (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, DOI: 10.1021/ ...

Carbohydrate chemistry has evolved into a dynamic field that underpins key advances in both fundamental science and practical applications. The chemical synthesis of carbohydrates, including ...

Carbohydrate microarrays have become essential screening tools for revealing the functions of biomolecules that interact with sugars, providing essential information on the mechanisms of diseases. The ...

A carbohydrate molecule that coats certain proteins on the cell surface, is critical for the proper proliferation and potency of embryonic stem cells, researchers report. Stem cells' tremendous ...

Deoxygenation reactions have been used to convert biomass-derived carbohydrates into useful platform chemicals. Now, a method has been described that can selectively excise C–O bonds to produce ...

Among the most important molecules in the living world are sugars or carbohydrates, which play a vital role in life processes. Sugars provide the main source of fuel for the body, protect muscles from ...
