#10 Nikolina Lauc - Inflammation Insights: Secrets of Staying Healthy

Discover how tiny things in your body can show early signs of getting sick! Learn how we can spot inflammation early and use it to keep our hearts and bodies strong. This episode is all about staying healthy and stopping sickness before it starts!

The conversation discusses the potential of glycans as biomarkers for disease prediction and prevention. The glycans are complex sugars that play a crucial role in enabling communication between cells. By analyzing glycans, it is possible to identify the early signs of disease development and take preventive measures. The conversation also highlights the challenges of integrating new technologies into healthcare and the importance of educating healthcare professionals. The company is currently focused on developing clinical markers for menopause and cardiovascular disease, with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment in these areas.
