LifestyleExercise in Moderation is Key to Improving Your Biological Age
Glycan profiles of these individuals that were training moderately were not changed in pro-inflammatory direction. They were, instead, changed in an anti-inflammatory manner meaning exercise benefited their bodies, as it should when done properly.

GlycoscienceA Roadmap to Future
The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". The SDGs were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030. Glycoscience plays a role in achieving eight of the seventeen.

HealthGlycans as Drivers of a Disease Risk
The relative risk of many diseases increases with age. Individuals age at different rates, and while some might show a surprising level of health and fitness in their eight decades, others might be troubled by age-related diseases already in their late thirties. An increasing body of evidence suggests glycans play a role at establishing an individual’s risk of having poor health.

HealthCan Glycans Predict the Loss of Kidney Function
Chronic kidney failure is one of the most common and debilitating complications of diabetes. Changes in glycosylation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) accompany biological agеing and regulates inflammation in diabetes – a process that participates in kidney function decline. A new study looks at the correlation between kidney function and IgG glycosylation.
