Research highlights
From 2006-2011, the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) and the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) collaborated to provide the Functional Glycomics Update, a one-stop resource with monthly updates on the latest developments in glycobiology. Here, access the complete archive of Research Highlights, short accessible pieces that put into context must-read papers related to Functional Glycomics.
