Exciting news! Our recent review paper published in Cellular & Molecular Immunology highlights the vital role of glycans in orchestrating immune responses.
We have published an opinion article that highlights the pivotal role of glycosylation in immune system development and functionality.
Our recent study of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), a group of chronic autoimmune diseases affecting muscles, has been published in iScience.
Our researchers identified stage-specific glycome compositions during T-cell development and observed significant defects in key developmental checkpoints when restricting the N-glycosylation profile of thymocytes.
We are delighted to announce that an ICG research team, comprised of Ricardo Marcos-Pinto, Ângela Fernandes, Catarina Azevedo, and Salomé Pinho, has been awarded a prestigious "Research Grant" of €6,000 by the Portuguese Society of Digestive Endoscopy .
Carolina Dantas, has been awarded a €6,300 research grant from the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS) and the Immunology Letters (IL). This grant will fund her internship at LUMC Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
In a major achievement, Salomé Pinho's lab has been awarded a prestigious grant worth €280,000 by the Lupus Research Alliance.
Life-threatening autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lead to increasing disability over time, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Now, a new study led by our group has shed light on the role of protein glycosylation in triggering autoreactive…
