Mannose may be a dangerous sugar to insects like honey bees, but new research has discovered that it could one day help treat cancer in people.
Mannose, a sugar that is crucial to many functions in the human body, cannot be broken down by the insects, leading to ‘honeybee syndrome’.
Mannose is involved in the process of glycosylation, in which the body adds sugar to proteins to stabilise their structure and help them interact with other molecules. Malfunctions in glycosylation can cause life-threatening diseases.
