Glycoscience is a science that studies glycans, one of the four types of fundamental biological macromolecules of living things. Glycans are the most abundant macromolecules on the planet, however, compared to nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, are the least studied. The study of glycans is an area of opportunity to identify their participation in the main physiological and pathological processes that affect the human being.
