Among modern cancer therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the most successful treatment methods. These ...

In the future, a little saliva may be enough to detect an incipient cancer. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have developed an effective way to interpret the changes in sugar molecules that ...

If Sébastien Vidal sees a mistake in a published chemical structure—a missing double bond or a hydroxyl group drawn in the wrong configuration—it “hurts my eyes immediately,” he says. Vidal, an ...

RENO, Nev. – For centuries, nature has been humanity’s primary source of protein. But today, alongside fields, farms and seas, laboratories are joining the list, an innovation that is likely to ...

A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...

Glycans, or structures of sugar molecules in our cells, can be measured by mass spectrometry. One important use is that the structures can indicate different forms of cancer in the cells. However, the ...

MHH researchers discover sugar structures on kidney cells that can predict response to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
