In times where many people have suffered loss and others of us are dealing with stress, disruption, and fear, there is a lot of comfort to be taken in reading. If we are not able to meet up and discuss our work in person, exploring published studies provides some succor, even without the cheese, wine, and other traditions of our usual get-togethers. Fortunately, recent months have seen many high-quality papers around the topic of glycosaminoglycans. I can only pick up on a very few here, those that I have particularly enjoyed, but the following collection of reviews will also be a treat and hopefully tide us over until our research community can regroup.
