A glyco-engineering approach for site-specific conjugation to Fab glycans by Maria L. Jaramillo, Traian Sulea, Yves Durocher, Mauro Acchione, Melissa J. Schur, Anna Robotham, John F. Kelly, Marie-France Goneau, Alma Robert, Yuneivy Cepero-Donates, Michel Gilbert

“…In conventional ADCs, the drug molecules are chemically attached randomly to antibody surface residues (typically Lys or Cys), which can interfere with epitope binding and targeting, and lead to overall product heterogeneity, long-term colloidal instability and unfavorable pharmacokinetics. Here, we present a more controlled process for generating ADCs where drug is specifically conjugated to only Fab N-linked glycans in a narrow ratio range through functionalized sialic acids. …”

Spatial Variation in Food Web Structures, Energy Flows, and System Attributes Along the Pearl River and Their Indications of Protection and Restoration by Sai Wang, Yong‐Duo Song, En‐Ni Wu, Tuan‐Tuan Wang, Muhammad Shahid Iqbal, Hui‐Long Ou, Jia Xie, Wen‐Tong Xia, Feng‐Juan Yang, Jie Feng, Shen‐Hao Wu, Yang Zhang, Cong‐Cong Jin, Zhuo‐Luo Ma, Hong‐Jin Zhang, Li‐Yong Miao, Kuan‐Song Wang

“…The food chains led by softshell turtles (Pelodiscus sinensis), piscivores (e.g., Elopichthys bambusa), molluscivores (e.g., Mylopharyngodon piceus), and herbivores (e.g., Ctenopharyngodon idelus) could be used to indicate the health and functioning of river ecosystems. Our results suggest that the ecological management of river ecosystems should focus more efforts on protecting original habitats (e.g., the island zone with fish feeding/spawning grounds), monitoring bioindicators with keystone trophic impacts in the food web, and evaluating the food chains that play important roles in upward energy transmission.…”
