b-Cool formation requires different sugar building blocks, which are depicted as colored hexagons. Specific enzymes link each sugar in a precise manner to form a membrane-anchored glycan (green zigzag). The glycan is likely transported outside the cell to carry out its activity during the early steps of disease progression. The researcher studied the functions of … Read more
