Fucosylated glycans

Fucosylated glycans are complex sugar molecules that contain fucose, a type of sugar. These glycans play crucial roles in biological processes, such as cell signaling and immune responses. Found on the surfaces of cells, fucosylated glycans help cells communicate and interact with their environment, influencing various functions like inflammation and disease development. They are important in medicine and research, as they can impact how diseases progress and how the body responds to infections. Understanding these glycans can lead to advancements in treatments and therapies for various health conditions.
