A study published in PNAS reveals how a bacterial pathogen coordinates N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) metabolism at the post-transcriptional level via a novel small noncoding RNA to promote ...
Sialic acid is a natural sugar building block found on the surfaces of our cells. It acts as a protective and recognition molecule and plays a central role in the development of the nervous system.
Researchers have uncovered two novel gene mutations that may be responsible for a rare blood disorder. The mutations are found on the GNE gene and impact an enzyme, also called GNE, that is involved ...
