Programmable design of functional proteins from natural language

Pinal, a 16-billion-parameter foundation model that produces protein candidates from natural-language functional descriptions, supports natural language as a high-level interface for candidate generation in protein design, enabling programmable exploration with reduced reliance on manually specified structural or seque...

Development of a drug delivery vehicle protein exhibiting high binding affinity and low leakage of the anti-cancer drug SN-38.

It is demonstrated that simple amino acid substitutions in L-PGDS can optimize drug binding, improve solubility, and suppress drug release, thus providing a basis for affinity-driven design of protein-based DDSs.

Insights into the mechanism of enhanced tetramethylpyrazine production in dehulled adlay fermented by Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2.

Tetramethylpyrazine (TTMP) is a vital bioactive alkaloid and characteristic flavor compound in fermented foods. Our previous study found that fermentation of adlay by Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 efficiently accumulates TTMP, whereas the underlying high-yield mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the fermentati...

Graph-based representations in modern protein science

Abstract For more than 50 years, the linear sequence and the multiple sequence alignment have been the foundational data structures of protein science, and they remain central to homology search, phylogenetic inference, covariance-based contact prediction, and modern protein language models. However, relational and gra...

Incremental value of biophysical and biochemical first trimester markers for predicting early and late preeclampsia: a nested model analysis

Aim : to compare the discriminative ability and calibration of nested-architecture machine learning (ML) models and the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) algorithm for predicting early-onset (< 34 weeks) and late-onset (≥ 34 weeks) preeclampsia (PE) in the first trimester of pregnancy in Russian population. Mater...

Pre-Seasonal Treatment With Recombinant Carrier-Based Birch Vaccine Improves Birch Pollen Allergy.

BACKGROUND We have recently reported the preclinical characterization of a recombinant birch pollen allergy vaccine based on a fusion protein, AB-PreS, consisting of allergen-derived peptides fused to the hepatitis B virus (HBV)-derived PreS surface protein as immunological carrier. OBJECTIVE To investigate in a clin...

Hypoxia preconditioned serum (HPS) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) promote proliferation, neurite network formation, and neurite elaboration in N2a cells

Findings identify HPS and PRP as biologically active secretomes with potential to support neuronal structural remodeling, warranting investigation in primary neuronal cultures and in vivo models of peripheral nerve regeneration.

Figure S2

Figure S2. Renal expression profile of qPCR-assessed candidate miRNA target genes in CLP and sham piglets. The horizontal bar plot shows log2 fold changes in renal mRNA expression in CLP relative to sham kidneys after normalization to 18S rRNA. Positive and negative values indicate higher and lower expression in the CL...

eLife Assessment: Genome-wide synthetic-lethality screen of Bam complex associated genes in Escherichia coli

Biogenesis of the bacterial outer membrane is key to bacterial survival and antibiotic resistance. Central to this is the β-barrel assembly machine (Bam) complex and its associated chaperones, which are responsible for transport, folding and insertion of outer membrane proteins (OMPs). The Escherichia coli Bam complex...

A Two-step Gene Expression Method for In Vitro Evolution of Translational Proteins

Improving the reconstituted translation system is a key requirement for bottom-up synthetic biology. Here, we developed a two-step in vitro evolutionary method that can be used for improving translational proteins. In this method, two distinct conditions were sequentially applied while maintaining genotype-phenotype...
