Figure8.5 (a) Metabolic incorporation of Ac5ManNTGc in the sialic acid pathway; (b)
thiol-modified analogs. Source: Adapted from Du etal.[136].
Current approaches to MGE for regenerative medicine applications are mostly focused on the replacement or modulation of cell surface glycosignature. MGE approaches have been performed in vitro using different polyacetylated ManNAc analogs in which the Nacetyl group was replaced by a thiolated acyl moiety. The thiolated and polyacetylated ManNAc analogs were metabolized, generating cell surface glycans in which Neu5Ac was replaced by a thiolated analog (see Figure8.5). Neu5(2′thiolAc), for example, was able to induce clustering of nonadhesive Jurkat cells and morphological neuronal differentiation of human embryoid bodyderived (hEBD) stem cells[137]. Other Neu5Acthiolated analogs showed interesting bioac­tivity in human stemcell modulation, including the induction of neuronal differen­tiation in human Neuronal Stem Cells (hNSCs) and the suppression of adipogenic differentiation in human adipose stem cells (hASCs)[136].
Gutmann et al. proposed a MGE approach employing tetraacylated monosaccharides containing an azido group, such as 1,3,4,6tetraOacetylN azidoacetylgalactosamine (Ac4GlcNAz), to obtain ECMs suitable for subsequent click chemistry protocols in order to conjugate different functional biomolecules in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts[138]. Also, fibroblast cellderived ECM was modified with azido groups by MGE introducing Ac4GalNAz in the culture medium [139]. Another MGE approach was developed by Nellinger etal.[140] by the incorpora­tion of alkenefunctionalized monosaccharides in the ECM, able to chemoselec­tively react with dienophiles as reporter groups. The alkenefunctionalized monosaccharides showed good cytocompatibility, ensuring the correct exposition of unnatural sugar on the ECM.

8.5 Future Opportunities and Major Challenges
The role of carbohydrates in medical device and tissue engineering applications is undoubtedly impressive and merits being studied and implemented. Mimicking nature, scientists have exploited polysaccharides as scaffolds to generate artificial tissues, often in combination with proteins, and shorter glycans as signaling mole­cules to induce cell fate. Where the structural role ends and the biological signal begins is not entirely clear. It will have to be thoroughly investigated. The possibility to synthetically generate human tissues and even organs is a big challenge, requir­ing multiple expertise to control structural, mechanical, and biomolecular proper­ties, in all of which even carbohydrates play their role. Polysaccharides and glycosylated proteins, derived from human and nonhuman sources, are already widely used as scaffolds to generate medical devices, but there is still room for sig­nificant improvements. The clinical translation of glycoengineered materials able to restore damaged tissues by exploiting the glycosignature as modulators of tissue morphogenesis is still in its infancy. The advancement in manufacturing technolo­gies, like 3D printing and 3D bioprinting, will have a significant impact on the gen­eration of polysaccharidebased materials with advanced micrometric physical and morphological properties. The high structural variability of glycans in ECM and cell surfaces and the large number of physiological and pathological events that they can specifically induce require the collection of a lot of information to have a com­plete picture of their role. The research, therefore, requires robotic platforms for the synthesis and artificial intelligence approaches to elaborate on the multitude of data and develop predictive programs. Once the picture is sufficiently clear, the gap between glycoscience and clinical translation will be covered, revealing the complex mosaic in which glycans are related to age, health, or pathological states. A big chal­lenge for glycoscientists.

9.1 An Introduction to Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs)
Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) are a group of 70 inherited metabolic disorders[1] that affect the function of the lysosome, a membranebound organelle with a key role in processes involved in degrading and recycling cellular waste, cel­lular signaling, and energy metabolism[2]. LSDs are monogenic disorders caused by the mutation in a gene encoding for a lysosomal protein (such as lysosomal gly­cosidases, proteases, integral membrane proteins, transporters, enzyme modifiers, or activators), resulting in lysosomal failure and subsequent accumulation of non metabolized substrates. This steady accumulation of substrates in the lysosome, the “storage,” hence the name of these disorders, ultimately leads to cell dysfunction and cell death (Figure9.1).
LSDs are considered a class of genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorders, even though some common clinical features, such as a pediatric onset and the enlargement of abdominal organs, mainly liver and spleen (visceromegaly), can be identified. Other frequent symptoms, related to the specific genetic mutation and the consequent stored substrate, are skeletal dysmorphia, developmental delay, or other central nervous system (CNS) deficits. Diagnosis of LSDs is based on clinical symptoms and subsequent confirmation with biochemical and genetic tests, such as enzymatic dosage and gene sequencing[3]. Unfortunately, especially for the less severe forms with longer survival, the overlapping clinical features that are not spe­cific for LSDs lead to considerable diagnostic delay and missed cases, while early diagnosis is a priority for the application of new diseasemodifying therapies.
