GlycoscienceThe 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.
HealthDid 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.
GlycoscienceGlycans 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.
HealthNext time you have breakfast, think about the sugars differently! Some of them might be bad in excess, but there is a whole world of sweet architectures interacting and communicating in your nerves, shaping the biochemical information that nurtures your thoughts.

GlycoscienceWe 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.
HealthMany 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).

GlycoscienceGlycoproteins found at the surface of several viruses are called viral envelope glycoproteins and they are great targets for virus neutralization.
