Abstract

The importance of glycosylation (post-translational attachment of glycan residues to proteins) in the context of neuroinflammation is only now beginning to be understood. Although the glycome is challenging to investigate due to its complexity, this field is gaining interest because of the emergence of novel analytical methods. These investigations offer the possibility of further understanding the molecular signature of disorders with underlying neuroinflammatory cascades. In this review, we portray the clinically relevant trends in glyconeurobiology and suggest glyco-related paths that could be targeted therapeutically to decrease neuroinflammation. A combinatorial insight from glycobiology and neurology can be harnessed to better understand neuroinflammatory-related conditions to identify relevant molecular targets.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The R47H variant of TREM2 presents an altered glycosylation pattern and decreased stability compared with wild-type TREM2.

    “Interestingly, the R47H variant of TREM2, which is expressed by microglia and linked to innate immunity, has been found to present an altered glycosylation pattern and decreased stability compared with wild-type TREM2 [176], indicating a potential link between microglial neuroinflammation and glycosylation [177, 178].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
