Abstract
Glyconanoparticles are the subject of numerous literatures and are emerging for applications in biomedicine, glycoscience, and material science due to their unique properties. They are hybrid materials each of which contains a nanoparticle core surrounded by a carbohydrate shell. The core can be metallic, magnetic, and/or photoluminescent, while the shell may be composed of mono-, di-, oligo- and/or poly-saccharides. Sugars are attached to the surface of the nanoparticles through covalent or non-covalent interaction. Here, we give a brief summary of the synthetic methodologies adopted in the preparation of different types of glyconanoparticles, which can be utilized in various applications including catalysis, drug delivery, vaccine, imaging and study of carbohydrate-lectin interactions.
Keywords: Glyconanoparticles, methodologies, carbohydrate-lectin interactions, biomedicine.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
