β-Mannosides play a crucial role in cellular processes and immune responses, and their synthesis remains one of the most challenging tasks in carbohydrate chemistry. Glycosyl donors, such as thiomannosides, are stable and compatible with a range of protection and deprotection conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that molecular iodine efficiently induces the activation and coupling of thiomannosides with various 1,6-anhydrosugars as acceptors.

To address the concern of anthropogenic aerosol loadings, it is imperative to comprehensively monitor and analyze the physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of secondary inorganic PM constituents. This study focuses on the high-resolution inorganic aerosol chemistry in an urban area of northern Taiwan, using hourly measurements of trace gases and water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs), integrated with the ISORROPIA II thermodynamic model.

These ambiguous findings create anxiety and frequently lead to inappropriate workup, colloquially referred to as the 'diagnostic odyssey'. Well-validated high-throughput experimental data have the potential to significantly reduce the number of VUS identified by clinical genetic testing, though the extent of this reduction and the optimal strategies to achieve it remain unclear.

However, the clinical significance of TTNtvs across the entire coding sequence of has not been comprehensively assessed. The purpose of this study was to examine the burden of TTNtvs in C/A and NM cases compared with controls in the genome aggregation database.

Short-chain peptides from fish protein hydrolysates possess wound healing properties that may represent a solution. In this study, perch hydrolysates were produced from perch side steams using a designed commercial complex enzyme via a proprietary pressure extraction technique.
