Built from thickets of glucose, galactose, mannose and more, the glycome plays key roles in cell communication, immunity and ...

A vaccine against one of the most dangerous hospital germs may soon be available. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam and the Freie Universität Berlin have ...

Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) researchers report in Molecular Cancer Research that they have identified specific sugar structures that correlate to different subtypes of hepatocellular ...

A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...

Our bodies have to sense our environment, and receptors are one part of the sensory experience of the body. Receptors, such as those in taste buds, can interact with specific things in the environment ...

Researchers have previously been able to analyse which sugar structures are to be found on certain proteins, but not exactly where on the protein they are positioned. This is now possible thanks to a ...
