Excited to share our laboratory's research tools to study Siglecs along with some interesting discoveries with these tools. Lot of help from many group, but @zeinab-jc.bsky.social was the major driver of this work. Please reach out if you would like to try them out. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
An ultrasensitive and modular platform to detect Siglec ligands and control immune cell function
Siglec-liposomes are a multivalent and modular platform for profiling Siglec ligands and modulating immune cell function.

When glycan recognition is linked to immune response, you need fine tuning! 😎
Here ⬇️ we show how human Siglecs act as molecular precision tools, recognising the glycan and also the biological environment (or context) these glycans are found in. A 1/5 #glycotime🧵 ⬇️

Very excited to share some work the Lab has been working on for a while. A new platform to probe Siglec ligands. Led by an incredible PhD student (Zeinab). Comes out of an ongoing fruitful collaboration with the Derda lab. Very open to feedback! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
An ultrasensitive and modular platform to detect Siglec ligands and control immune cell function
Siglecs are immunomodulatory receptors that regulate immune cell function. A fundamental challenge in studying Siglec-ligand interactions is the low affinity of Siglecs for their ligands. Inspired by ...
