Overview
Glycans are sugar molecules that are commonly found on the surface of cells and are important in many cellular activities. They play a crucial role in stem cell biology, acting as mediators of stem cell fate and function. By binding to extracellular receptors, glycans can help determine how the cells interact with the surrounding environment and regulate various stem cell processes, such as maintenance and differentiation. Understanding the role of glycans in stem cell biology can help us better manipulate stem cells for therapeutic applications, as well as uncover new strategies for tissue regeneration and medical therapies.
