For #WorldDiabetesDay we’re spotlighting how glycomics supports diabetes management.
Research by Dr. Michael Riddell (YorkU) shows that ZT-01, by blocking the SSTR2 receptor, boosts glucagon release, preventing dangerous blood sugar drops in type 2 diabetes. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pha...

What makes brain cells communicate—and what happens when that system breaks down? GlycoNet Investigator Dr. Simonetta Sipione (UAlberta) shows gangliosides help neurons communicate and purge waste—opening new paths to treat neurodegenerative disease canadianglycomics.ca/researchers-...
