glycans

Researchers discover that glycogen and N-linked glycans accumulate in fibrotic regions of the lung and may be important for therapy development.

Human mucus contains glycans that could one day treat harmful Candida albicans infections.

Prior to a 2019 preprint, “glycoRNAs” weren’t known to exist. Now, the researchers who found them say they’re on lots of cells and may play a role in immune signaling.

This is the first time sugars have been found connected to RNA molecules, suggesting a new role for RNA.

In animal fossils dating back millions of years, researchers detect traces of a glycan once synthesized by ancestral human lineages.
