A lecture by Professor Gordan Lauc, giving an overview of over a decade of research on more than 100 000 individuals which showed that IgG glycans are excellent biomarkers of ageing and age-related diseases.

 

It is general knowledge that the prevalence of chronic and inflammatory diseases increases with age. However, as biological ageing does not always correspond to chronological age, many younger individuals are also prone to developing chronic diseases or severe COVID-19 disease. What are glycans? How to change your biological ageing? And why is it important to consider glycans in COVID-19 treatment and vaccine development? Watch the lecture and find out the answers to these questions and more.
