GlycoscienceUnderstanding Glycans in COVID-19 Drug Design
We need to intensify studies on the role of glycosylation and understand the importance of these complicated structures if we want to have success in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the COVID-19.
HealthMucin 4 Glycoprotein Appears to Play an Important Role in Coronavirus Disease
Many surfaces of our body, including surface of the respiratory system (from the nose to the lung), eyes, ears, intestine and others, are covered by a layer called mucus. This mucus layer serves as the body's very first line of defence against pathogens (e.g. bacteria, viruses).
