Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form highly organized clusters with cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs), ...

Now, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have discovered that Src also appears like a flag on the surface of bladder, colorectal, breast, pancreatic, and probably many ...

In 2021, research led by Ryan Flynn, MD, PhD, and his mentor, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, opened a new chapter in biology, characterizing a new kind of player on the cell surface: glycoRNAs.

For five decades, scientists have known about a notorious cancer-causing enzyme called SRC. But they always assumed it only ...
