Scientists move toward reading sugars cell by cell
Original: Reading sugars cell by cell
A report in Nature describes progress in mapping sugars at the level of individual cells. Unlike DNA or proteins, glycans on cell surfaces are hard to sequence, and new methods aim to detect which sugar structures each cell carries. Researchers say this could clarify how cells communicate and how diseases like cancer alter their surface chemistry.
Why now: New research published in Nature on single-cell glycan analysis is drawing scientific attention.
