Join us as we explore „The Mind Full of Glycans“ and give you an insight into the importance of glycans for the neurobiological processes in our brain.

Catching the Dominos As They Fall: A Breakthrough in the World of Glycans Might Help Cure Liver Disease

An exciting discovery enables science to look into processes behind diseases in a way that’s never been done before.

Women Age Twice as Fast During Perimenopause

Women's biological age increases significantly during their transition from perimenopause to menopause.

A 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.

Predicting Vulnerability to Stress Using Glycans

Can our glycans tell us something about our vulnerability to stress?

How Does GlycanAge Compare to Methylation as a Biomarker for Biological Age?

When Glycosylation Goes Wrong: 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.

Measure, 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.
