Structural basis of condensate formation of VAPB protein

Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB) is an endoplasmic reticulum protein implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through its P56S mutation. Although pathological function loss and condensate formation of the VAPB P56S mutant are crucial for disease progression, the underlying mole...

Deciphering the impact of genetic variants on vulnerability to Opioid Use Disorder

A comprehensive RNA-sequencing analysis of postmortem nucleus accumbens tissue from individuals with OUD and matched controls provides an integrated view of candidate genetic and transcriptomic alterations in OUD and identifies lncRNA-centered regulatory networks and candidate variant-bearing genes as hypothesis-genera...

THE ILLUSION OF THE COMBINATORIAL EXPLOSION: P VERSUS NP AS A PROBLEM OF STRUCTURAL LATENCY AND GEOMETRIC TRANSDUCTION

Overview This paper addresses the P versus NP problem by proposing a fundamental epistemological and geometric rupture. Rather than treating the "combinatorial explosion" characteristic of NP problems as an intrinsic physical or mathematical barrier, this work demonstrates that it is an artifact of measuring a multi-di...

Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Model Predicts Enhanced Antitumor Efficacy of Combined Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 (CTLA-4) and Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-1) Blockade in a Syngeneic Mouse Model of Breast Cancer

Immune-checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4 have transformed cancer therapy, yet most patients still fail to respond, and the reasons remain incompletely understood. To dissect this heterogeneity and support translational development, we built a preclinical quantitative systems pharmacology model of α-PD-1...

Wheat Bran Stir-Frying Reshapes the Metabolome of Euryale Ferox Seeds and Predicts Enhanced Bioactive Potential for Spleen and Kidney Tonifying

Background: Euryale ferox Salisb. seed (Euryales Semen) is a traditional Chinese medicine whose therapeutic application is modulated by wheat bran stir-frying, a process that enhances its effects on tonifying the spleen and kidney. The molecular mechanisms and alterations in bioactive components underlying this process...

Insights into morpho-biochemical characterisation and β-ODAP profiling of diverse genotypes of grasspea

Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a versatile, climate-resilient legume valued for its nutritional richness and low input requirements. However, the presence of the neurotoxin β-N-oxalyl-L-α, β-diaminopropionic acid (β-ODAP) has limited its popularity. The present study aimed to identify promising low-ODAP grasspea gen...

Plasma proteomic signatures preceding the first recorded bronchiectasis diagnosis: a prospective UK biobank study

Bronchiectasis is increasingly recognised as a chronic airway disease, but is often diagnosed only after irreversible structural abnormalities have developed. To characterize plasma molecular patterns preceding the first recorded bronchiectasis diagnosis, we analysed baseline plasma proteomics in the UK Biobank Pharma...

Routine Laboratory-Based Machine Learning for Discriminating Multiple Myeloma from Clinical Mimickers: Development and Internal Validation of a Diagnostic Prediction Model

These models could support triage and prioritization of patients already under evaluation for suspected MM, particularly where access to specialized testing is delayed; use in lower-prevalence, first-contact settings would require recalibration and dedicated validation.

Characterization of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation of Companion of Cellulose Synthases under Stress Mimicking Conditions

A condition-dependent condensate state for CC1NTD is defined and a novel mechanism for the formation and maintenance of stress-associated cellulose synthase compartments driven by LLPS of the disordered regions of CSC and accessory proteins is proposed.

Tideglusib as a First-in-Class Chemical Probe for NatA: Identification, Mechanism, and Cellular Validation of an Allosteric, CoA-Dependent Inhibitor.

Tideglusib is established as a mechanistic chemical probe for NatA, NatA is revealed as a previously unrecognized molecular target for a promiscuous clinical-stage investigational compound, and a conceptual framework for exploiting catalysis-dependent adduct formation as a new strategy for acetyltransferase inhibitor d...
