In her talk about sugar and cancer, Stanford Chemistry Professor Carolyn Bertozzi tells us why the sugar coating on our cells is crucial to our health and well-being. Unlike the sugar coating on a peanut M&M, she explains, human cells are covered with complex sugars Bertozzi shows us are, “like foliage swaying in the breeze.” The language these sugars are speaking can tell us everything from what blood type we are to whether we have cancer.
Carolyn Bertozzi is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Chemical & Systems Biology and Radiology (by courtesy) at Stanford, and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She completed her undergraduate degree at Harvard and her doctorate at UC Berkeley. After postdoctoral work at UCSF and a professorship at UC Berkeley, she joined the faculty at Stanford coincident with the launch of Stanford ChEM-H.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

She must have put sugar around her presentation! Just like an immune cell, I am completely put to ease with her style of presentation. My weakest subject is chemistry, yet her articulation with the help of the demonstration on slides made the material very easy to understand. She is so articulate that I just like listening to her talking.

Ahhh Carolyn Bertozzi is my new hero. I watched her seminar on ibioseminar about glycobiology and it was absolutely amazing. Let alone the fact that she has a very good way to explain complex concepts, her studies on sugar is brilliant. Her work on bioorthogonal chemistry and using this chemistry to tag and visualise sugar on the cell surface is a masterpiece. She may just well be the winner of this year Nobel Prize in Chemistry (but of course, CRISPR-cas is a huge thing to consider too).

Sometimes, you get full. Maybe a small cup for ice cream. Not the carton and a spoon. Bad idea. Don't keep it in the house. Jmo They do have OA for food addicts, which many or even most addicts are.

It's not even the sugars we can see, like what people might add to coffee, which is a minor amount of our daily sugar intake ,that is key to the sugar. It's the sugar we can not see, added to everything from soup, sauces, soda drinks, salad dressings and gravy packets we have to worry about. It suppresses leptin which tells the body "I'm full" and that is a good business model. Consumers are being fattened up like feedlot animals, for corporate profits. When it comes to drinks I stick to water, tea and coffee (without sugar) with the caveat that some forms tea and coffee are more sugarated than most people realise. Looking at you iced coffee.

@science75902
@science75902 Жыл бұрын
I’m not sure about the build-up of sialic acids. But here’s a “fun fact”: the influenza virus expresses a neuraminidase/sialidase (the N for example in H1N1), which cuts sialic acids to set free its offspring from the cell surface. So maybe we could use sialidase to reduce the sialic acid coating on cells. But still the problem remains, how to specifically target the Tumor cells.

Your blood group is determined that way. She has discovered additional info, which I am confident that by itself in a basic blood GROUP test, would not be evidenced. Your blood TYPE is determined by your rh factor. Perhaps she might care to comment in response? As she never mentioned any distinguishing of group vs type in regards to blood, nor the rh factor at all, my guess would be she has not done any 'drill down' research in this area. I loved her presentation here and really look forward to hearing more from her regarding her discoveries. Let us hope and pray that she is 'safely allowed' to continue her research.

This is similar to Staphylococcus aureus cells, that they coat themselves in hyaluronic acid molecules, thus hyaluronic acid binding peptides (hyaladherins) can be used in therapy. I would be interested if silicic acid, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid and other glycogens would signal various things such as angiogenesis in addition to immunological resistance.

Clean out your liver - liver flush. # 2 Switch to plant based foods. # 3 clean water # 4 Apricot seeds (B-17) - apricots from God .com #5 FLOOD the body with nutrients (plant based) #6 Up your Ph level to 8 "off and on" #7 Hydrogen peroxide therapy (do your home work) #8 Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day - if you can NOT defecate drink 10 glasses of water "one after the other" with out stopping, this will force your system to evacuate FAST without chemicals. # 9 Use Green Vibrance 8 x a day - first thing in the morning / before and after each meal and once 2 hours before bed time - in the morning drink your water mixture then go back to bed, and massage your right side, than do the same to the left side - this will stimulate the movement of toxins through the system # 10 Go for a short walk 3 x a day. Doing this will change your life - Oh one other thing DO NOT EAT SUGAR - NO DRINKING WHAT EVER - EXCEPT FOR A "NO SUGAR ADDED" PRODUCT CALL "NAKED" ALL NATURAL "NON SUGARD ADDED PRODUCT" FOUND IN WHERE YOU FIND THE REAL RAW FOOD - YOU WILL LOVE THE NATURAL PLANT BASES SUGAR - YES YOU NEED SURAR - "NOT ADDAED SUGAR" - I CURED MY CANCER IN JUST A FEW DAYS - YOU READ IT RIGHT, IN ONLY A FEW DAYS DOING WHAT I JUST SUGGESTED - DOING ALL OF THESE THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

This idea of immune modulation to treat cancer is all the rage in the medical research community nowadays. At 8:56, I think she's talking about ipilimumab and along with nivolumab is another nice example of "releasing the brakes" on white cells. Hopefully the drugs turn out to be an improvement over what is currently available.

There’s no difference between sialic acids of a cancer cell and of a healthy cell. But cancer cells sometimes have way higher levels of sialic acids on their surface. So we would need a drug, which only activates the immune system, when a certain threshold of sialic acid expression on the cell surface is reached.

Yes, it is. One figurative example: there are human and avian influenza strains. They most of the time can only infect human or bird cells. This is due to the receptors which they use to attach to and infect cells: with their surface protein they attach to sialic acids. Humans and birds express different kinds of sialic acids, that’s why normally an avian influenza strain cannot infect humans. But: pigs express both sialic acids which can be used for attachment of avian AND human influenza strains. So they can be infected by both at the same time, then recombine to completely new strains which can infect both birds and humans!

Laurie Davidson raw meat my dear, natural and wild of course so it's high in dopamine not factory farms high in cortisol, and that's one of the million bad things factory farms do. Be vegetarian if you can't buy organic meat don't support big business support little family farms they are the true doctors.

I wonder if such drugs with cause then major autoimmune diseases - not just “ help” ward off cancer?. It would be nice to give a more wholistic reason why this S. Acid Sugar coats cancer cells - and maybe, what we can do or not do naturally to try and avoid this cell problem- instead of just creating a drug- which grant it I am thankful for- especially surviving Melanoma myself 20 some years ago but, without the drug.

Are the sialic acids found in healthy cells?

Well if cancer is actually a coordinated response, then for the time being the immune system and cancer cell would want to have a handshake moment and that may be sialic acid. It’s been 6 years and that penicillin moment seems to have gone. Maybe we are closer to the point of recognizing killing cancer cells is not the solution. It’s also very strange that cancer tends to stay put for years, instead of growing out of control, like either the immune system is actually doing it’s job or the cancer knows not to grow out of bounds. I suppose the euphemism is ‘benign tumor’.

Reading these comments I think we have to accept that people require different approaches to cancer treatment. Some motivated people will do Gerson Therapy or Vit C therapy as per Nobel prizewinner Linus Pauling others want to take a pill as they don't want to be disciplined for some reason and so need to pop a pill. It's not simply big pharma it is also that people follow bad behaviours for emotional reasons that are cognitively very difficult to change. Some are shocked into change others are not. Do we deny treatment?

I wonder if the cells normally eat some of the sugars found on the surfaces of other cells, as part of normal physiological processes. In addition, I wonder if having sugar on the surface of multicellular organisms is a key in understanding how multicellular organisms evolved. Maybe multicellular organisms share this food in this way?

I guess immune cells are eating some of the sugars on the surface? Maybe this "tasting" is done during other important cell processes like cell migration or blood circulation?

Maybe proteins are also shared food between cells? There are many receptor and cell surface proteins whose function is unknown, maybe they are cellular stores of protein?

More of the same reductionistic view of the MDs. Wouldn’t it be smarter to address the reason why cancer appeared to begin with? Wouldn’t wiping those sugars from the cell membrane affect other systems in the body that MDs still don’t understand?

That's why we have research, to know what we don't know. She was clear what she was taking. As an MD, I can tell you we don't know a lot and what's good today may be proved as wrong tomorrow. We do our best to help people with the current information we have but will not be surprised when recommendations change. Also some times we don't use common sense as it should be used.
