Cancer cells exploit sugars on their surfaces to evade immune detection and spread.
Glycomics research is essential to uncovering these hidden mechanisms and advancing new approaches to cancer detection and therapy.

Immune cells use sugar molecules on their surfaces to communicate—but these signals can be hard to study.
GlycoNet researchers at @ualberta.bsky.social developed balloon-like probes to help detect these subtle interactions, opening doors for future therapies.
