💡 Have you ever wondered how many N-Glycans or #glycoproteins there are on cells?
The numbers are massive: calculations suggest about 20 to 200 million N-glycans per human cell!

Want to know where #glycans are specifically expressed in the #brain? Using smart anti-glycan reagents (SAGRs) we map the specific expression of glycans in the mouse brain. Check out poster-150 presented by Dr. Ea Tulin at the 2024 Society for Glycobiology meeting!
If you are attending the @SfG Society for Glycobiology annual meeting: find Dr. Lauren Pepi at poster 154 to discuss how the Glycomics Core at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center can help in #glycomics analysis and learn about a targeted MS/MS method utilizing over 200 glycan standards to study samples.
This month's interesting facts about glycans - we take a look at "bacterial cellulose"! Yes you heard that correct! Cellulose is found all around us in the form of clothing, wood, paper products and is usually sourced from plants. But bacteria also produce a form of it.

The CFG website is undergoing some updates to be compatible with modern infrastructure requirements.
We are happy to announce that the archival glycan array data from the CFG website is now available again through the website at https://functionalglycomics.org
You have heard of the periodic table of elements-
we present the Periodic Table of Monosaccharides where we attempt to arrange the monosaccharides in a systematic table.
