Comparison of sequence- and structure-based antibody clustering approaches on simulated repertoire sequencing data
Repertoire sequencing allows us to investigate the antibodymediated immune response The clustering of sequences is a crucial step in the data analysis pipeline aiding in the identification of functionally related antibodies
Unraveling potential EGFR kinase inhibitors: Computational screening, molecular dynamics insights, and MMPBSA analysis for targeted cancer therapy development
EGFR is critical for tumor angiogenesis and cancer progression but existing treatments like erlotinib face limitations such as acquired resistance and side effects To address these issues this study employs structurebased
An integrative network approach for longitudinal stratification in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinsons disease PD is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms resulting from the loss of dopamineproducing neurons in the brain Currently there is no cure for the disease which is in part due to the heterogeneity
Fragment-based drug discovery for transthyretin kinetic stabilisers using a novel capillary zone electrophoresis method
A Capillary Zone Electrophoresis CZE fragment screening methodology was developed and applied to the human plasma protein Transthyretin TTR normally soluble but could misfold and aggregate causing amyloidosis
CD38-targeted attenuated interferon alpha immunocytokine activates both innate and adaptive immune cells to drive anti-tumor activity
Recombinant interferon alpha IFN has been used to treat cancer patients for over years however its clinical utility has been limited by a narrow therapeutic index Given the recognized antitumor and immunomodulatory impacts
Exploring the molecular basis of the genetic correlation between body mass index and brain morphological traits
Several studies have demonstrated significant phenotypic and genetic correlations between body mass index BMI and brain morphological traits derived from structural magnetic resonance imaging sMRI
TRIM21 modulates stability of pro-survival non-coding RNA vtRNA1–1 in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells
Recent studies expanded our knowledge of diverse prosurvival functions of short noncoding vault RNAs One of the human vault RNA paralogs vtRNA modulates several intracellular processes including proliferation
Molecular simulation-based investigation of thiazole derivatives as potential LasR inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa P aeruginosa a very resilient pathogen demonstrates a diverse array of virulence factors the expression of which is closely linked to the quorum sensingQS mechanism
Genetic risk for neurodegenerative conditions is linked to disease-specific microglial pathways
Genomewide association studies have identified thousands of common variants associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders However the noncoding localization of these variants has made the assignment
Unknotting RNA: A method to resolve computational artifacts
RNA D structure prediction often encounters entanglements computational artifacts that complicate structural models resulting in their exclusion from further studies despite the potentially accurate prediction of regions outside the entanglement
