Background and Objectives: The global rise of antimicrobial resistance threatens effective treatment of bacterial infec- tions. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major pathogen whose resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is primarily mediated by the mecA gene, encoding the low-affinity penicillin-bi...

The Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is a ligand-regulated membrane protein whose pathogenic variants are associated with motor-neuron and neurodegenerative disorders, yet its ligand conformational selectivity and receptor organization remain incompletely understood. We systematically characterized 35 pathogenic or likely pathog...

Colostrum, first milk produced by mammalians after parturition, is a biologically rich and complex fluid, referred to as “liquid gold” due to its exceptional nutritional and immunological properties. Among the bioactive molecules, proteins play critical roles in neonatal development and immune protection, notably due...

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a promising pan-tumor target for theranostics, but current FAP-targeted radioligands are limited by insufficient tumor retention and suboptimal therapeutic doses. To address these challenges, we developed a novel LARM platform and synthesized the FAPI dimer TH2103-100. The radioch...

Force spectroscopy yields direct access to the interplay between free energy and transition kinetics of proteins and nucleic acids. Yet, complex molecules such as multi-domain proteins exhibit multiple intermediates during unfolding and refolding with different or similar stabilities and kinetics ranging from milliseco...

Early risk stratification in upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is essential for emergency department (ED) triage, treatment planning, and mortality reduction. Although conventional clinical scores are widely used, they may not fully capture complex nonlinear interactions among physiological, laboratory, and comorb...

Neurodegenerative proteinopathies are defined by distinct proteins whose folding, trafficking and clearance depend on shared proteostasis machinery. Whether these disorders engage common components or only common processes has been unresolved. We mapped 16 disease proteins from 12 disorders onto a fixed 990-protein pro...

Volume C of the Ontology-First N.E.A. Series. Complex systems, topological value, and the enthalpy bank. The physical mainline of the Ontology-First N.E.A. Series derives the entire universe — spacetime, matter, forces, particles, atoms, cosmology, and the observer — from a single logical primitive operating under the...

Protein engineering has become an increasingly interdisciplinary field, integrating molecular biology, structural biology, biophysics, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence to modify protein structure, stability, dynamics, molecular recognition, and catalytic activity. This systematic review examines th...

Estrogen’s broad trophic effects on anterior pituitary function are not fully understood. The compound 4-vinyl cyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) induces early ovarian failure and reduced E2 production, which may differentially affect anterior pituitary cells. We recently identified transcriptomic changes in pituitary gon...

It is demonstrated that PDI(a)-mediated cis-fusion enables high-yield production of structurally native-like and functionally competent HSA in the bacterial cytosol and provides a practical platform for producing complex disulfide-rich proteins in E. coli.
