The Japanese Kampo medicine Boi-ogi-to (BOT) is known as an effective therapeutic agent for edema and nephrosis by promoting the excretion of excess body fluids. Despite its empirical effectiveness, scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness re...
BACKGROUND: Adenine base editors (ABEs) enable the conversion of A•T to G•C base pairs. Since the sequence of the target locus influences base editing efficiency, efforts have been made to develop computational models that can predict base editing ou...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Artocarpus lacucha Buch. -Ham. (syn. Artocarpus lakoocha) (A. lacucha), is a tropical fruit tree and a member of the Moraceae family. Fruit, bark, foliage, and roots of A. lacucha are broadly utilized in folklore medic...
Cationic polymers offer an alternative to viral vectors in nucleic acid delivery. However, the development of polymer vehicles capable of high transfection efficiency and minimal toxicity has remained elusive, and continued exploration of the vast de...
Marine antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a promising source for combating infections, especially against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and traditionally challenging infections. However, traditional drug discovery methods face challenges such a...
Large-scale drug discovery and repurposing is challenging. Identifying the mechanism of action (MOA) is crucial, yet current approaches are costly and low-throughput. Here we present an approach for MOA identification by profiling changes in mitochon...
Transposon (IS200/IS605)-encoded TnpB proteins are predecessors of class 2 type V CRISPR effectors and have emerged as one of the most compact genome editors identified thus far. Here, we optimized the design of Deinococcus radiodurans (ISDra2) TnpB ...
Artificial neural networks provide a powerful paradigm for nonbiological information processing. To understand whether similar principles could enable computation within living cells, we combined de novo-designed protein heterodimers and engineered v...

Cytotoxicity is essential in drug discovery, enabling early evaluation of toxic compounds during screenings to minimize toxicological risks. assays support high-throughput screening, allowing for efficient detection of toxic substances while conside...
The first step in bottom-up proteomics is the assignment of measured fragmentation mass spectra to peptide sequences, also known as peptide spectrum matches. In recent years novel algorithms have pushed the assignment to new heights; unfortunately, d...
