Glycobiology

As per available reports about 98 journals, 53 Conferences, 10 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Glycobiology and about 45652 articles are being published on the current trends in Glycobiology. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to Glycobiology are being carried out. As per the Ruddock & Molinari, glycoproteins are oligosccahrides that are attached to polypeptides. These are found to take an important role in the process of post-translational modification and other important process.

The Journal of Glycobiology an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in medical sciences. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. Glycobiology is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to various development process in the human body. Change of the cell surface and plasmic glycosylation is the most important modifications observed in cellular behabior including fertilization, development, differentiation, growth, aging, immune system and oncogenesis. The synthesis and distribution of these glycans resulted from the changes are under strict genetic control.
