Hypersialylation = an excess of sugars on cell surfaces, helping #cancer & #autoimmune cells evade the immune system by allowing them to go undetected. It’s a key target in glyco-immunology and at the heart of our work at Palleon. Learn more: bit.ly/3DUGdvt #glycotime
94% of GPs would support launch of a national prostate cancer screening programme for high-risk men. As the National Screening Committee reviews prostate cancer screening policy, GPs across the UK were asked for their opinions on the reforms under consideration. The survey…
