Glycans, Inflammation & Biological Age: A New Lens on Longevity
The podcast explores glycans—overlooked sugar molecules attached to proteins—as powerful indicators of inflammation, biological age, and longevity. Host Dr. Nina Patrick interviews Nikolina Lauc, CEO of GlycanAge, who explains how her family’s pioneering glycomics research led to the GlycanAge clock, a diagnostic that measures immune‑related glycan patterns to assess health risk. Key insights include glycans’ dual role as genetic and epigenetic integrators, their superior predictive power for cardiovascular events compared with traditional markers like CRP, and the company’s shift from consumer‑focused biological‑age reports to hospital‑based risk‑score tools. GlycanAge now operates in three major hospitals, processing tens of thousands of samples annually, and backs its claims with over 350 peer‑reviewed studies. Notable examples highlight the scale of their data—more than 300,000 glycome analyses, representing 83% of global glycomics—and the challenges of transferring high‑throughput glycan testing to clinical labs, which can take months of training. Lauc also contrasts the negative impact of mortality‑risk messaging with a more positive "immune resilience" score designed to encourage proactive lifestyle changes. The implications are significant: as healthcare embraces preventive metrics, glycans could become a standard, modifiable risk indicator, driving early interventions, reducing long‑term costs, and opening a new revenue stream for diagnostics firms. Wider adoption may also reshape how clinicians view biological age, moving it from a curiosity to a actionable clinical tool.
