Overview
Glycans are a diverse group of complex carbohydrates that can be found on the surface of all human cells. They are essential for many biological functions, including nutrient transport and communication between cells, and play an important role in regulating aging. Glycans have been implicated in various age-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. As people age, the glycans on their cells become increasingly altered, and researchers are exploring ways to alter glycans as a way to slow down the aging process. Glycans may also be used as biomarkers of aging, allowing scientists to better understand the biological mechanisms of aging and find potential ways to prevent age-related degeneration.
