Researchers took aim at mucins, glycoproteins that protect cancer cells from drugs and the immune response, and engineered a revolutionary targeted tool for oncology and beyond.
Making up the majority of all eukaryotic proteins, glycoproteins have a wide range of important physiological roles, from cell-cell signaling to disease pathogenesis.
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.
