Epigenetic regulation orchestrates mammalian transcription, but functional links between them remain elusive. To tackle this problem, we use epigenomic and transcriptomic data from 13 ENCODE cell types to train machine learning models to predict gene...
The transplantation of neural progenitor cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has therapeutic potential for the treatment of neurological diseases. However, the functional integration of transplanted iPSC-derived neurons into hos...
Nanomedicine requires smart delivery systems that are precise, robust, and universal. While liposomes are established vehicles in drug delivery, their full potential is challenged by limited stability, leakage, insufficient response, and limited insi...
Biomolecular condensates mediate dynamic compartmentalization of cellular processes. The multivalent interactions that underlie biomolecular condensation are often promoted by intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) within proteins. Although the role...

The traditional drug discovery process is often lengthy, costly, and characterized by a high failure rate. There is a pressing need for innovative strategies to optimize this process and improve the chances of identifying effective therapeutic candid...
Understanding SARS-CoV-2 human protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and the host response to infection is essential for developing effective COVID-19 antivirals. However, how the ancestral virus and its variants remodel virus-host protein assemblies i...

Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) is crucial in the innate immune response, responsible for recognizing single-stranded RNA from external pathogens and initiating the production of inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. Despite the potential therap...
The multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins MATE1 and MATE2K may determine the pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions of many drugs. However, their substrate spectrum and synergy with organic cation transporters OCT1 and OCT2 remain incompletely ...
