Don’t Stress – Your Glycans Will Know

Glycans are complex carbohydrate molecules attached to many proteins and lipids. More than half of all our proteins are glycosylated, and the glycan part often significantly influences a protein's structure and function. Unlike other macromolecules such as RNA and proteins, the sequence of glycans is not predetermined…

Glycans and Influenza

Viral infection typically begins by one or more of viral glycan-binding proteins (lectins) recognizing and binding the glycans on the surface of our cells.

Fighting Viruses With Glycans

COVID-19 has developed into global pandemics, which we probably cannot stop any more. The virus is not very deadly but is spreading rapidly and can cause collapse of the healthcare system, even in developed countries like Italy. Therefore, we have to do our best to slow the spread of the virus, so that people that req…

Sugar-Coated Proteins Affecting Inflammation in Our Body

It is common knowledge that genes influence our behaviour and characteristics. Genes are DNA blueprints that are used to build proteins - molecules that are essential for life. Proteins perform many different functions in our body, such as important structural roles (for example our hair is built from proteins called …

What Are Glycans?

Glycans are complex carbohydrate molecules and one of the four primary components of the cell (alongside DNA, proteins and lipids). Our cells are coated with a thick layer of glycans.

The GlycanAge Method

Welcome to Glycanage, the revolutionary, science-based test offers an accurate and insightful view into the true condition of an individual’s health by defining the difference between their chronological and biological age. To calculate biological age, cutting edge technology analyses an individual’s IgG glycans, prov…
