COVID19 Severity – Are Smokers at Risk?

We are all aware of the bad effect smoking has on our body and health but here is another reason while quitting is worthwhile.

Mucin 4 Glycoprotein Appears to Play an Important Role in Coronavirus Disease

Many surfaces of our body, including surface of the respiratory system (from the nose to the lung), eyes, ears, intestine and others, are covered by a layer called mucus. This mucus layer serves as the body's very first line of defence against pathogens (e.g. bacteria, viruses).

Glycans as Biomarkers for Liver and Pancreatic Cancer

With cancer being one of the deadliest diseases on earth, the need for biomarkers that can determine the risk of developing it is extraordinary.

Biomarkers of Biological Age as Predictors of COVID-19 Disease Severity

Early epidemiological studies suggest that age is the most important predictor of severity of COVID-19 disease course.

Glycosylation in Neurodegeneration

Alterations in protein glycosylation identified in neurodegenerative diseases.

Vaccines and Glycosylation

The importance of glycans in developing new vaccines

Fighting Viruses With Glycans

The importance of glycans as one of the main arsenal against viruses.

IgG Glycans & High Blood Pressure

By tracking regularly and improving our GlycanAge, we can now reduce the chance of developing hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.

What Are Glycans?

Glycans are one of four building blocks of life (alongside proteins, nucleic acids and lipids). They are complex sugars that are involved in almost every process in our body.

The GlycanAge Method

First we take a small blood sample. It’s quick, safe and virtually pain-free.
