Summary note
Lectins: Biomedical Perspectives records the major achievements of an initiative, funded by the European Community, to coordinate lectin research throughout Europe. The book explores the concept that lectins are nature's communication proteins and considers the potential applications of lectins in medical research.
Key chapters focus on the use of lectin genes in transgenic research in relation to their potential medical-nutritional impact, the use of lectins as targeting agents in oral drug delivery, their use in blocking pathogenic infections, and the potential gastroenterological applications of lectins.
