The role of glycans, the sugars that cover our cells, in Alzheimer's disease is being studied. Glycans may have the ability to regulate the aggregation and toxicity of amyloid-beta, the protein responsible for forming plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Targeting glycans could be a possible strategy for preventing or treating the disease, but further research is needed to confirm this. #glycans #alzheimers #sugar https://neurosciencenews.com/glycans-alzheimers-23027/

Fascinating paper that reevaluates the phylogenetic distribution of endo-α-1,2-mannosidase, reshaping our understanding of its evolutionary history. Amazing work and thanks for using SequenceServer!🧬

A new study has discovered that glycans, a type of sugar molecule, play a key role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Glycans are found on the surface of cells and can affect their interactions and functions. The study found that glycans can modulate the aggregation and toxicity of amyloid-beta, a protein that forms plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

Had a lovely time talking about our work on #miRNA and #glycans #glycotime at U of Toronto Chem. Thank you Mark Nitz for hosting!

Hi #mastodon

Suppose It's high time for my #introduction 👋 I'm a 4th year grad student working with Jim Paulson @ Scripps Research where I develop therapies targeting the #SialicAcid immune axis to combat #cancer & viral infection.

Besides #glycans & #glycotime (obvi.) recent interests include #ProteinEngineering, #Phage Display, #DELs, #TPD, #Bioorthogonal Chemistry and #ChemBio at large.

Intrigued by the #startup life & low-key shopping around for #postdoc ops

#Introduction Hi all I am Elisa Fadda, I use HPC to rebuild the structure of the invisible complex carbohydrates or #glycans in biomolecules (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cbpa.2022.102175) and to understand their *many* functions in #viralinfection, #hostpathogen interactions, and in biological processes where sugars rule. I am a huge supporter of #openscience and long-time affiliate of #bioRxiv. I like cats and in particular @MULibraryCat 👍 😊 Here promoting #glycotime and happy to rebuild a wonderful community 👋
