Abantu abaningi ngokuzenzakalelayo bahlobanisa amafinyila nezinto ezinengekayo, kodwa empeleni, anemisebenzi eminingi ebalulekile empilweni yethu. Ilandelela izitshalo zethu ezibalulekile zamathumbu futhi iphakele amagciwane. Ihlanganisa zonke izindawo zangaphakathi zomzimba wethu futhi isebenza njengesithiyo esivela ezweni langaphandle. Kusisiza ukuba sizivikele ezifweni ezithathelwanayo.

Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amafinyila asebenza njengesisefo esivumela amagciwane ukuba angene noma aphume, futhi amabhaktheriya adla ushukela osebeni phakathi kokudla. Ngakho-ke, uma singasebenzisa ushukela olungile ukuze sikhiqize amafinyila asevele asemzimbeni, angase asetshenziswe ekwelapheni okusha sha.

Manje, abacwaningi abavela ku-DNRF Center of Excellence kanye ne-Copenhagen Glycomics Centre bathole indlela yokukhiqiza amafinyila anempilo ngokuzenzela.

Senze indlela yokukhiqiza ulwazi olubalulekile olutholakala kumafinyila abantu, abizwa nangokuthi ama-mucins, kanye nama-carbohydrate abalulekile awo. Manje, sibonisa ukuthi ingakhiqizwa ngokwenziwa njengamanye ama-biological agents okwelapha (njengamasosha omzimba nezinye izidakamizwa eziphilayo) akhiqizwa namuhla, kusho umlobi ohamba phambili wocwaningo kanye nomqondisi weSikhungo saseCopenhagen uProfesa Henrik Clausen. I-Glycomics.

Amafinyila noma amafinyila akhiwa ikakhulukazi ushukela. Kulolu cwaningo, abacwaningi babonise ukuthi lokho amagciwane akubonayo kuyiphethini ekhethekile kashukela ku-mucin.
