In the last decade, there has been a shift in research, clinical development, and commercial activity to exploit the many roles of RNA in physiology for use in medicine. With the rapid success in the development of lipid-RNA nanoparticles for mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 and with several approved RNA-based drugs, RNA…

One aim of the international Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) Human Proteome Project (HPP) is to obtain high-confidence translation evidence for every human protein-coding gene established in its target list of 19433 entries based on the protein-coding genes from Ensembl-GENCODE. However, 76 are annotated in…

Molecular mechanisms governing initiation steps of the assembly of thousands of endogenous multi-protein complexes (EMCs) remain incompletely understood. Here, multiple lines of observations are reported reflecting the biological functions-aligned initiation sequence of hybrid assembly pathways (HAPs) of EMCs. HAPs…

Francisella tularensis Schu S4 is the causal agent of a sporadic zoonotic disease known as Tularemia, which has shown epidemic outbreaks recently in certain parts of the world. This pathogen is a potential agent of biowarfare or bioterrorism and is classified as a category A pathogen by the National Institute of…

Understanding the multivariate origin of physical properties is particularly complex for polyionic glasses. As a concept, the term genome has been used to describe the entirety of structure-property relations in solid materials, based on functional genes acting as descriptors for a particular property, for example, for…

RNA droplets assembled from co-transcriptionally folded nanostructures have recently emerged as a promising platform for constructing protocells and minimal synthetic cell models. In these systems, a custom-designed DNA template encodes an RNA nanostar, which is produced by transcription and self-assembles into…

The orphan nuclear receptor TLX is expressed almost exclusively in neural stem cells. TLX acts as an essential factor for neural stem cell survival and is hence considered as a promising drug target in neurodegeneration. However, few studies have characterized the roles of TLX due to a lack of ligands and limited…

Efficient delivery of DNA, RNA, and genome engineering machinery to plant cells will enable efforts to genetically modify plants for global food security, sustainable energy production, synthetic biology applications, and climate change resilience. For the delivery of functional genetic units into plant cells, charged…

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. The pathology of AD is marked by the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and tau protein tangles in brain, along with neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction. Genetic…

Aging is a dynamic, time-dependent process characterized by a gradual accumulation of cell damage. Continual functional decline in the intrinsic ability of living organisms to accurately regulate homeostasis leads to increased susceptibility and vulnerability to diseases. Anti-aging research has a long history…

Researching the EEEV virus is challenging due to the virus's high lethality and significant risk. This study employed bioinformatics methods for domain search to investigate the pathogenesis and infection process of the EEEV virus P protein. The results demonstrated that the EEEV virus P protein contains domains that…

We present a chemical framework in which adaptive organization is achieved by tuning a gated quantum resonator (adaptive genomic resonator) {driven quantum oscillator} across a driven, dissipative reaction manifold (fitness landscape) {Hamiltonian potential surface}. In this view, catalytic elements set gain and phase…

The rise of antibiotic resistance has necessitated the exploration of unconventional sources for novel antimicrobial agents. One emerging novel frontier is "de-extinct" molecules – bioactive peptides, antibiotics, and other bioactive agents reconstructed from ancient or extinct organisms – a groundbreaking convergence…

Target validation remains a challenge in drug discovery, which leads to a high attrition rate in the drug discovery process, particularly in Phase II clinical trials. Consequently, new approaches to enhance target validation are valuable tools to improve the drug discovery process. Here we report the combination of…
