A recent study posted on the bioRxiv* preprint server explored the glycan shield diversity of sarbecoviruses, furthering the knowledge for developing broad-range pan-coronavirus vaccines. Study: The ...

We're told from a young age not to eat too much sugar, but in reality, our bodies are full of the stuff. The surface of every living cell, and even viruses, is covered in a mess of glycans: long, ...

AGA takes advantage of the unique MSn capability of the AXIMA Resonance MALDI quadrupole ion trap TOF mass spectrometer. Glycans play an important role in medical research; in the diagnosis of cancer ...

Bacteria in our bodies bind to various host cell surface receptors, which determines where the bacteria live and how they behave. These receptors, made up of chains of sugar molecules called glycans, ...

In a recent review published in Cellular and Molecular Immunology, researchers discuss the regulatory roles of glycans and glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) in modulating immune responses, particularly ...

A research team has investigated how mucin, a major component of the gut lining, and food-derived glycoproteins influence the growth of the bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila. By dissecting the role of ...

Sepsis—an extreme inflammatory response in the bloodstream caused by a serious infection—could be responsible for as many as 11 million deaths worldwide per year, according to a 2020 report from the ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have developed an AI model that increases the potential for detecting cancer through sugar analyses. The AI model is faster and better at finding ...
