An Atlas of Human Glycosylation Pathways Enables Display of the Human Glycome by Gene Engineered Cells (Molecular Cell)

Narimatsu et al. display the diversity of human sugars on the surface of a library of cells by genetically engineering the cellular glycosylation machinery. Sugars on the cell surface play important roles in interactions with the environment, and the cell library developed opens for studies of biological interactions with sugars.
