A novel deep generative model for mRNA vaccine development: Designing 5' UTRs with 1-methyl-pseudouridine modification.

Efficient translation mediated by the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) is essential for the robust efficacy of mRNA vaccines. However, the 1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1) modification of mRNA can impact the translation efficiency of the 5' UTR. We discovered that the optimal 5' UTR for m1-modified mRNA (m15' UTR) differs significantly from its unmodified counterpart, highlighting the need for a special...

Preclinical efficacy of a cell division protein candidate gonococcal vaccine identified by artificial intelligence.

Vaccines to curb the global spread of multidrug-resistant gonorrhea are urgently needed. Here, 26 vaccine candidates identified by an artificial intelligence-driven platform (Efficacy Discriminative Educated Network[EDEN]) were screened for efficacy in the mouse vaginal colonization model. Complement-dependent bactericidal activity of antisera and the EDEN protective scores both correlated positiv...
