Molecular Biochemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates cancer and digestive diseases through the functions of glycans.
AboutAbout the lab
Using glycans as clues to find new diagnostic methods.
The Molecular Biochemistry Lab conducts research on the pathological biochemistry of glycans.
The diseases it targets are mainly cancer and digestive diseases.
Because glycan structures vary between cells and tissues, glycans are also called the "faces of cells," and they are used clinically as disease markers such as tumor markers.
Using the latest glycan analysis technology, the lab aims to develop new diagnostic and testing methods for digestive diseases that are considered difficult to treat.
Key terms
- Glycan
- Glycans: molecules made of linked sugars that attach to proteins. Their structures vary between cells and tissues.
- Tumor marker
- Tumor markers: substances used as indicators, for example in cancer diagnosis. For some of them, differences in glycans serve as the indicator.
