Forget Ozempic. Aussie scientists found a way to directly attack sugar

Australian researchers discovered that ubiquitin directly modifies glycogen, a key sugar molecule, potentially revolutionizing treatments for obesity and diabetes. This breakthrough, detailed in Nature, highlights ubiquitin's role in regulating blood sugar levels, which could lead to more effective therapies than current drugs like Ozempic. Professor David Komander emphasized the significance of the findings, predicting lasting implications for biology.
