glycosylation and cellular adhesion

Glycosylation is a process in which sugar molecules called glycans are added to proteins or lipids in a cell. This modification plays vital roles in protein folding, stability, and function. Cellular adhesion refers to the process by which cells bind together or attach to surrounding tissues or other cells. This interaction is mediated by specific molecules on the cell surface, allowing cells to form tissues and structures, and also participate in various physiological processes, such as immune response and wound healing.
