Carbohydrate-specific, boronate-containing copolymers: from sugar-sensing to cell adhesion
Carbohydrates play a major role in many cell recognition events and metabolic pathways of living organisms. Synthetic carbohydrate receptors are of great interest for the chemical design of sugar sensors, materials for cell separation, cell immobilization, drug delivery and other biomedical/biotechnological applications. These receptors are more stable under harsh conditions and have lower cost as
