Glycans are usually found in cells and are generally bound to other molecules such as proteins and lipids. But Suzuki's team ...

Glycans that are present on glycoproteins often have a pivotal role in protein folding, trafficking and protection against degradation, the efficient operation of the innate immune system and ...

Carbohydrate chains, known as glycans, are complex sugar-based structures involved in various biological processes. Galactosides, a subgroup of glycans, are present in plants, animals and ...

Carbohydrate chains, or glycans, are complex sugar-like compounds that play important roles in various biological processes and structures in our bodies. Galactosides are a type of glycan found in ...

After spending time in Carolyn Bertozzi’s lab getting excited about the world of glycans, Shi realized there might be a way to understand how these complex molecules could be involved in dementia.

Cancer O-glycoproteins tend to have truncated sugar side chains (O-glycans), which means they can be targeted by therapeutics without causing off-target effects on healthy tissues. O-glycoproteins ...
