Featured articles
From 2006-2011, the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) and the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) collaborated to provide the Functional Glycomics Update, a one-stop resource with monthly updates on the latest developments in glycobiology. Here, access the complete archive of Featured Articles, specially written editors' reviews on the most exciting findings in glycobiology.

Proteoglycan editing: Sulfatases change a frog's fate
Extracellular sulfatases edit cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans, thereby modulating signaling pathways that determine Xenopus tropicalis development.
Original research paper: Developmental Biology 320, 436-445 (2008)
Golgi protein glycosylation: Keeping transferases safe and sound
The COSMC chaperone enables the formation of functional T-synthase dimers active in the Golgi apparatus, and most yeast Golgi glycosyltransferases are localized to their compartment by binding to the coat protein I linker Vps74p.
