A Multistrategy AI‐Assisted Consensus Screening Pipeline for Discovery of Candidate p53 Monomer Binders

The rapid advancement of AI has greatly boosted the efficiency of large‐scale lead compound screening, especially for proteins without resolved 3D structures in the PDB. However, current large structure databases cannot support efficient large‐scale screening within drug R&D cycles. Here, we propose a multistrategy c...

Targeting Lung Cancer Stem Cells with Trimebutine: Synergistic Antitumor Activity in Combination with Cisplatin

Overall, trimebutine targets lung CSC populations by disrupting GPCR–ion channel–Hippo signaling crosstalk, providing a strong preclinical rationale for trimebutine–cisplatin combination strategies to overcome drug resistance and recurrence in lung cancer.

An In Silico Investigation of the Structural and Evolutionary Features of MAPEG Proteins in Bacteria

The Membrane-Associated Proteins in Eicosanoid and Glutathione metabolism (MAPEG) superfamily comprises integral membrane proteins involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and redox regulation. While extensively characterised in eukaryotes, bacterial MAPEG homologs remain poorly understood. In this study, we condu...

A dual-plasmid system for efficient soluble protein expression in Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli -based expression systems are extensively utilized for recombinant protein production due to their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. However, they often face challenges including leaky expression, codon bias, and poor solubility. Various strategies have been developed to address t...

Non-linear associations between inflammatory biomarkers and Mycoplasma pneumoniae–associated necrotizing pneumonia in children: a restricted cubic spline analysis and nomogram development

To characterize non-linear associations between inflammatory biomarkers and Mycoplasma pneumoniae –associated necrotizing pneumonia (MPNP) in children using restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, and to develop a predictive nomogram. We retrospectively analyzed 319 children hospitalized for Mycopla...

Two intramolecular interfaces control the WDR44 conformational switch that regulates Rab11 binding

This work defines the contacts that maintain WDR44 in its closed conformation and provides a mechanism by which pathogenic mutations may alter WDR44 function, which explains how disease-causing mutations activate WDR44, and defines the surfaces through which its functions are likely regulated.

Evolutionary diversification of the nuclear pore complex in Entamoeba histolytica reveals conserved and lineage-specific nucleoporins

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the gateways for macromolecular exchange between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Although NPC architecture is broadly conserved across eukaryotes, substantial lineage-specific diversification has emerged, particularly among divergent protists. Here, we investigated the NPC of Entamoeba hist...

Characterization of Single Ribosomes and Virus Particles with Large-Diameter Perfringolysin O Nanopores

Existing biological nanopores are often too narrow to accommodate large proteins and biomolecular complexes in their native folded states, precluding the analysis of megadalton assemblies. Here, we report the self-assembly of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin Perfringolysin O (PFO) into stable transmembrane nanopores...

Cysteine-Inspired Photosensitizer with Efficient Tumor Accumulation Enables Thermoresistance Reversal for Reciprocal Enhancement of Photodynamic-Photothermal Therapy.

Abstract Insufficient tumor accumulation and heat shock protein (HSP)-mediated adaptive resistance remain major barriers to effective cancer therapy. Here, a cysteine-inspired conjugated polymer photosensitizer (CP-PCys) was developed to integrate enhanced tumor accumulation, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) generation, photodyn...
