What if a critical piece of the puzzle of brain aging has been hiding in plain sight? While neuroscience has long focused on proteins and DNA, a team of Stanford researchers dared to shift their gaze ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes a ...

A comprehensive study mapped the dynamic glycosylation landscape of rat serum proteins, uncovering sex- and time-dependent variations with clear cell-type specificity. Researchers found distinct ...

In an era where health and wellness take precedence in our daily lives, natural supplements have emerged as crucial allies in promoting overall well-being. One such innovative supplement gaining ...

When Clay Bennett started his postdoctoral stint in 2005, he thought—“naively,” he admits—that he would spend just a couple of months preparing a few grams of an oligosaccharide before using the ...

The chemistry of sugars is so abstruse that Dr. Richard Fay Jackson’s identification of three new sugars at the U. S. Bureau of Standards last week was a little triumph. He found the new sugars in ...
