Fusarium head blight caused by threatens global wheat production, causing substantial yield reduction and mycotoxin accumulation. This study harnessed machine learning to accelerate the discovery of antifungal peptides targeting this phytopathogen. ...
BACKGROUND: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is considered a crucial enzyme in type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment, targeted by inhibitors due to its role in cleaving glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). In this study, a novel DPP4 inhibitor screening strategy ...
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are a growing global health concern, especially among the elderly, posing significant challenges to well-being and survival. GSK3β, a serine/threonine...
BACKGROUND: The activation of free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4) enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake while mitigating inflammation. It is a promising therapeutic approach for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The papain-like protease (PLpro), a cysteine protease found in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), plays a crucial role in viral replication by cleaving the viral polyproteins and interfering with the host's innate immune re...
