Stanford researchers discovered that age-related thinning of the brain’s glycocalyx—a sugar layer on blood-brain barrier cells—leads to increased permeability, neuroinflammation, and cognitive decline. Restoring key glycans improved barrier integrity and brain function, opening new avenues for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
