The druggable genome encompasses the genes that are known or predicted to interact with drugs. The Drug-Gene Interaction Database (DGIdb) provides an integrated resource for discovering and contextualizing these interactions, supporting a broad range...
Parkinson's disease disproportionately affects males; however, the cause of this sex difference is unknown. We found that expressing mutant -synuclein A53T in Drosophila dopamine neurons recapitulates the sex differences observed in human Parkinson's...
Enzyme activity and stability are strongly modulated by pH, making the catalytic pH optimum (pH opt) a key parameter in enzyme development and biotechnological applications. Experimental determination of pH opt is, however, labor-intensive and time-c...
Ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) is a foundational task in evolutionary biology, providing insights into the molecular past and guiding studies of protein function and adaptation. Conventional ASR methods rely on a multiple sequence alignment ...
Somatic mutations accumulate with cell division and are key to understanding tumor evolution. While single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can effectively capture somatic mutations in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR), enabling its use for lineage ...
The enzyme turnover number (kcat) is a pivotal kinetic parameter for understanding biocatalytic efficiency, yet its accurate prediction remains a grand challenge due to the complex interplay between local physicochemical constraints and global evolut...
Pupil diameter provides a powerful, non-invasive biomarker of brain state, correlating with arousal, attention, cognitive processing, and level of consciousness. Despite its widespread use, pupillometry remains limited by software tools that lack sca...
Local field potentials (LFPs) measured in the extracellular matrix of the brain are postulated to arise from the integration of synaptic ionic currents and spread by volume conduction. However, there is a lack of consensus on whether these spatiotemp...
Accurate trachea segmentation from computed tomography (CT) is a prerequisite for image- guided airway assessment, toward precision tracheostomy planning and safe endotracheal tube placement. Trachea-specific delineation remains challenging due to el...
Ecotoxicological tests with soil organisms, such as the collembolan Folsomia candida, are essential for assessing chemical risks in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the current Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 232 reprodu...
