New research has updated our understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into skin in the inflammatory disease, psoriasis. The paper entitled “Leukocytes have a heparan ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on August 30, 2025, titled, "Glycocalyx-targeted therapy prevents age-related muscle loss and declines in maximal exercise capacity ...

“Collectively, these findings suggest that glycocalyx integrity is a critical determinant of physical function and that glycocalyx-targeted interventions may be a viable therapeutic strategy to treat ...

I compared the best animation software to find the best options for creative professionals, social media marketers, small businesses, and budding animators. If you want the very best, then Autodesk ...

A collaborative team led by Ralf Jungmann (Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry and LMU Munich) and Leonhard Möckl (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) has pushed ...

A study recently published in Nature has identified a key factor in the age-related breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and has demonstrated that this damage may be reversible, potentially ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. The ...

A protective sugar coating on brain blood vessels, once thought to be insignificant, turns out to play a vital role in preventing cognitive decline. Restoring this layer reversed damage and memory ...

The blood-brain barrier weakens during normal aging and in neurodegenerative disease, but the reasons are not fully understood. In the February 26 Nature, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray and Carolyn ...

A recent study published in the journal Nature showed that the dysregulation of the brain endothelial glycocalyx layer impairs the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in disease and aging. The BBB forms a ...
