Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glycation is one of the post-translational modifications of proteins involving the non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to proteins. Although glycation is particularly intense during conditions of chronic hyperglycemia, it has also been observed in other metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Previous studies have found that glycation contributes to the development of inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress, which can lead to numerous complications, including micro- and macroangiopathy. Therefore, early and late glycation products can serve as biomarkers for numerous diseases, ranging from aging to metabolic, neurodegenerative, and neoplastic diseases.
The aim of this special issue is to publish original scientific research and comprehensive reviews on the latest reports on protein glycation in health and various disease states. We are encouraging the submission of papers on the impact of glycation on cell and tissue homeostasis, and therapeutic interventions that counteract the harmful effects of protein glycation.
