Glycan Profiling

Glycan profiling is a laboratory technique used to study the structure and composition of glycans (sugars) present in a sample. Glycans are components of many types of molecules such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and glycoproteins. They are important components of the human body and are involved in many biological processes. Glycan profiling uses sophisticated technology to analyze the glycans of a sample and help identify their roles in a specific biological system. Furthermore, it is used to detect changes in glycan structures, which can be indicative of diseases such as cancer and metabolic diseases. Knowing the structure and composition of glycans in a sample can help scientists better understand the roles of glycans in various physiological processes and diseases, as well as help in developing various therapeutic strategies.
