Isn't it amazing when a fresh new preprint is out on Friday? 😎🥳 Check out the fabulous work by @beatricetropea.bsky.social who gives us a clear mechanistic explanation behind the 'peculiar' structure of the LLO donor preferentially chosen by eukaryotic OST 🤓😍 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Well done @glycojones.bsky.social !!

glycoshape.org has now a blog where we discuss (yep you got it) glycans, glycoproteins and fun stuff! Season 1 is out with: Ep01: Why should we care about glycan heterogeneity? Ep02: How can we include glycan heterogeneity in a 3D framework? Ep03: Molecular precision glycoscience: Enter Siglecs

Ben @benschulz.bsky.social , Ojas @ojas-singh.bsky.social and I have been pondering about heterogeneity a lot lately 🤔 In this COSB review we discuss the fruits of our pondering, discussions and readings, and we share our awe for the power and ingenuity of glycoheterogeneity in a 🧵 @glycoshape.org

Glycoheterogeneity is an aspects of glycobiology that most would class into a category between difficult and intolerable, but @benschulz.bsky.social and us love it! So we wrote a whole review in Current Opinion in Structural Biology on it 🧵1/8 ⬇️ doi.org/10.1016/j.sb...

🚨 #glycotime seminar alert! June 22nd, 2026 4pm JST (8am BST) @kiyokof.bsky.social will present the GlyTouCan v.4 in the next GlySpace Alliance Seminar event 🔥 If you use @glycoshape.org, you know already aboutGlyTouCan IDs. Tune in ⬇️ to discover what GlyTouCan can do for your research 🥳

Hey everyone! The Microbial Glycobiology 2026 conference is officially open for registration! We're thrilled to invite all PhD students, postdocs, PIs, and Industry partners to join us for what promises to be a top event on Glycoscience. Register now to secure your spot! #Glycotime www.mgc2026.org

New piece from our lab: alpha-Gal syndrome from a glycobiologist's point of view. How glycans in ticks' saliva immunize us, and how our immune system responds to similar glycans present in red meat. Glycoproteins/glycolipids discussed. @alphagal-info.bsky.social tinyurl.com/55762ewu #glycotime

Yesterday we kicked off #CGS2026! It's fantastic to see strong engagement from the #glycomics community with over 190 attendees gathered from across Canada and internationally. Looking forward to a great few days of science, discussion, and new ideas! #glycotime #glycoscience

We are pleased to let you know that our article 'Harnessing Microbiomes to Redefine Medicinal Plant Agriculture' is now available online. A great collaboration with Zhang Ji (YAAS, Kunming). 50 days' free access to our article via Share Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1n2WZ,L%7E...

Thank you Trinidad Velasco-Torrijos for enlighting conference in multivalent glycoconjugates for fighting fungal infections

Bacterial glycans are a nightmare to model. Unusual sugars, missing parameters… I’ve been working on extending the GLYCAM builder to include them — together with @robertamarchetti.bsky.social, @olivercgrant.bsky.social and the group of Prof. Woods. Preprint👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

For all interested in glycolipids. Interesting review about synthesis of GSLs, their role in physiology, pathology, endocytosis/trafficking/secretion and GSL-targeting strategies in drug design. tinyurl.com/bdpy9zub #glycotime

Last cross country ski for this winter. Hoping for such excellent snow next season … and ready for hiking now

´Sugars for dummies’ by the one and only Serge Perez is the best introduction lecture to Glycosciences and our Glyco@club members enjoyed it

We are excited to introduce your 2026 Society for Glycobiology Executive Committee! This dedicated group of leaders is committed to advancing our mission, strengthening our community, and supporting innovation across the field of glycobiology. Congratulations and welcome! 👏 hashtag#SFG2026

Wee thread 🧵⬇️ on our new #glycotime with @siglecdude.bsky.social John Klassen and @glycocode.bsky.social 🥳 where we show Siglecs as molecular precision tools, able to recognise sialylated glycans with surgical precision in their natural environment, not bad for a lectin! 😎 doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Silvia's simulations showed that while all epitopes expose Sia for binding, Siglec-6 recognises and binds only GM1 because of a key interaction with the membrane through W127 and K126, which orientates the V-set domain to bind the Sia through Arg122 and the terminal Gal to the C-C' loop 😎

SAVE THE DATE: The 53rd Society for Glycobiology Annual Meeting (SFG 2026) is heading to Atlanta! Join the global glycobiology community November 8–11, 2026 at the Emory Conference Center Hotel for four days of cutting‑edge science, collaboration, and discovery. lnkd.in/g75JFg-h #SFG2026
