Team develops a sugary-sweet new method for biomarker discovery
Everyone loves a sweet treat, even our cells. While we typically think of sugar as a component of our diet that gives us energy, sugars are also very important in guiding the activity of our cells. Sugar molecules can be modified and added to proteins on the outside of cells, where they help cells to perform certain tasks. The process of making these complex sugar molecules that coat cells is known as glycosylation.
