How Can Targeting Glycosylation Pathways Be Used in Cancer Therapy?
Targeting glycosylation pathways offers a promising approach for cancer therapy: - Inhibitors of Glycosyltransferases: Blocking the activity of enzymes that add sugars to proteins can disrupt cancer cell functions. - Lectin-Based Therapies: Lectins, which bind to specific glycan structures, can be used to target and kill cancer cells. - Glycan-Based Vaccines: Vaccines designed to elicit an immune response against cancer-specific glycan structures are being explored.
