Declining or Waning
- Traditional Glycobiology Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in publications focusing solely on classical glycobiology topics without integrative approaches, as researchers increasingly explore interdisciplinary themes that combine glycobiology with other biological sciences. - Basic Enzymatic Functions of Glycosyltransferases:
Research dedicated to the basic enzymatic functions of glycosyltransferases seems to be waning, possibly due to a shift towards more applied research that investigates their roles in complex biological systems rather than isolated enzymatic activities. - Static Glycan Structure Analyses:
Studies that primarily focus on the static structural analysis of glycans without functional or dynamic context are becoming less frequent, indicating a trend towards understanding glycan behavior in live systems. - Glycoconjugates in Non-Medical Applications:
Research on glycoconjugates in areas outside of medical applications, such as agriculture or environmental studies, appears to be less frequent, which may reflect a narrowing of the journal's focus towards health-related research.
