screening-based discovery of inhibitors against glycosylation proteins dysregulated in cancer.

Targeting enzymes associated with the biosynthesis of aberrant glycans is an under-utilized strategy in discovering potential inhibitors or drugs against cancer. The formation of cancer-associated glycans is mainly due to the dysregulated expression of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases, which play crucial roles in maintaining cellular structure and function. We screened a database of more than 14,000 compounds consisting of natural products and drugs for inhibition against four glycosylation enzymes - Alpha1-6FucT, ST6Gal1, ERMan1, and GlcNAcT-V.

The effect of physical activity interventions on youth with autism spectrum disorder: A meta-analysis.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the effect of physical activity interventions on youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Standard meta-analytical procedures determining inclusion criteria, literature searches in electronic databases, coding procedures, and statistical methods were used to identify and synthesize articles retained for analysis. Hedge's g (1988) was utilized to interpret effect sizes and quantify research findings.
