GlycoscienceCDG Disease: Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
The glycosylation machinery inside the cell’s factories requires the coordinated action of hundreds of different enzymes working together in perfect harmony. If even one of these enzymes is not working properly, that can be a big problem.
HealthSweet Beginnings: How Sugars Help to Build Your Brain
Did you know that there are special types of sugar chains, called glycans, that play a crucial role in brain formation? It's true! Read to find out more.
GlycoscienceMeasure, Normalise, Analyse
Glycans are complex sugar molecules that are present on the majority of proteins in the human body. As such, glycans have shown great potential as biomarkers of both biological and chronological ages, as well as various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases.
