Sialic Acids and Sialoglycoconjugates in the Biology of Life, Health and Disease enables the reader to understand the role of sialylation as a post translational modification. The book provides insights on the latest knowledge in the field of sialoglycobiology. Sialic acids as terminal residues of oligosaccharide chains play crucial roles in several cellular recognition events. Synthesized post translationally, they play an important role in recognition, signaling, immunological response and cell-cell interaction. Improper sialylations have been associated with several diseases including cancer. In the post genomics and proteomics era, sialoglybiology has become more and more important in deciphering health and disease conditions. – Discusses the sialic acids and their role in different diseases (other than cancer)- Provides an understanding of sialylations as post translational modifications (PTM)- Demonstrates the impact sialylation has on infectious diseases, the autoimmune system and health- Gives insights on the importance of sialic acid biology through animal models
