Glycoantigens are the secondary gene products, that means their expression depends upon expression of specific glycosyltransferases and glycosidase which catalyse their synthesis and degradation, respectively. We investigate glycophenotype changes as the causes and/or consequences of certain physiological and pathophysiological conditions as well as their responses to drug therapies.

Extension of cooperation in the frame of project „ Biological effects of wine: the influence of vinification technology, dealcoholization and aging of wine“ (No. 8652, PI Mladen Boban) supported by the Croatian Science Foundation. Our current results support critical monocyte subpopulation roles in modulation of the inflammatory microenvironment favourable for cardiomyocyte replenishment after myocardial infarction.
