Research is being conducted on the role of glycans in Helicobacter pylori infection, including their expression and adhesion. The studies appear to involve various approaches, such as imaging and probing, to understand the interaction between the bacteria and human gastric mucins. The investigations may also have implications for understanding the role of glycans in cancer cell adhesion and migration.
