Mannose is a simple sugar with a complex life. It is a welcome therapy for genetic and acquired human diseases, but it kills honeybees and blinds baby mice. It could cause diabetic complications. Mannose chemistry, metabolism, and metabolomics in cells, tissues and mammals can help explain these multiple systemic effects. Mannose has good, bad or ugly outcomes depending on its steady state levels and metabolic flux. This review describes the role of mannose at cellular level and its impact on organisms.

A key challenge of the modern genomics era is developing empirical data-driven representations of gene function. Here we present the first unbiased morphology-based genome-wide perturbation atlas in human cells, containing three genome-wide genotype-phenotype maps comprising CRISPR-Cas9-based knockouts of >20,000 genes in >30 million cells. Our optical pooled cell profiling platform (PERISCOPE) combines a destainable high-dimensional phenotyping panel (based on Cell Painting) with optical sequencing of molecular barcodes and a scalable open-source analysis pipeline to facilitate massively parallel screening of pooled perturbation libraries.

The anti-inflammatory role of miR-23b-3p (miR-23b) is known in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, its role in sepsis-related acute lung injury (ALI) and its effect on macrophages in ALI remain unexplored. This investigation aimed to evaluate miR-23b's therapeutic potential in macrophages in the context of ALI.

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in women, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) showing the poorest prognosis among all subtypes. Glycosylation is increasingly recognized as a critical biomarker in the tumor microenvironment, particularly in BC. However, the glycosylation-related genes associated with TNBC have not yet been defined.

Alternative flours can reveal beneficial health effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of dietary fibers (DFs) of coconut and carob flours on colonic microbiota compositions and function. Coconut flour DFs were found to be dominated by mannose-containing polysaccharides by gas chromatography (GC)/MS and spectrophotometer, whereas glucose and uronic acid were the main monosaccharide moieties in carob flour DFs.
