Deep learning unlocks sequence-divergent synthetic promoters to empower Streptomyces natural product engineering.

Streptomyces are renowned for their unparalleled capacity to produce bioactive natural products, making them prime candidates for industrial antibiotic manufacturing. However, Streptomyces lags behind E. coli and yeast in genetic tool development, as its promoters often constrained by narrow strength ranges, poor availability, and minimal diversity, hindering advanced synthetic biology application...

Diagnostic value of integrated albumin-to-leukocyte ratio risk modeling stratification and machine learning approaches for prediction of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients.

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) remains a life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis, requiring accurate and rapid prediction. Albumin and leukocyte count reflect systemic inflammation and liver dysfunction; combining them into an Albumin-to-Leukocyte Ratio (ALR) may enhance early risk stratification. AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic value of the ALR for predicting SBP in ...
