St Davids day

🌼It’s St David’s Day and the daffodils are in bloom! 💛
Did you know their sunny yellow comes from beta-carotene – think carrots, sweet potatoes – the goodness that helps keep our skin glowing and eyes bright.

Synthesis of the endogenous non-reducing end heparan sulfate disaccharide for newborn screening and diagnosis of Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA (MPS IIIA) is caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme heparan N-sulfatase. Newborn screening of MPS IIIA is carried ou…

#RareDiseaseDay: Carbohydrate Research reports a synthetic heparan sulfate biomarker to improve newborn screening for Sanfilippo syndrome 🧬

Glycans link with lipid metabolism, and lipid pathway disruption is common in rare disease. Better tools enable earlier detection ✅️

Remembering Gregory Gregoriadis (1934–2026) 🕊️

Pioneer of liposomes and lipid nanoparticle technology, his work reshaped modern medicine and enabled breakthroughs like mRNA vaccine delivery. His legacy continues to drive lipid research, innovation, and patient care worldwide.
