Investigation of serum neuroserpin levels in pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia: a prospective case-control study.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: Neuroserpin, a serine protease inhibitor, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Given the central role of inflammation and neurological involvement in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, this study aimed ...

Machine learning-based rational design for efficient discovery of allatostatin analogs as promising lead candidates for novel IGRs.

Pest management science
BACKGROUND: Insect neuropeptide allatostatins (ASTs) play a vital role in regulating insect growth, development, and reproduction, making them potential candidates for new insect growth regulators (IGRs). However, the practical use of natural ASTs in...

A novel framework based on explainable AI and genetic algorithms for designing neurological medicines.

Scientific reports
The advent of the fourth industrial revolution, characterized by artificial intelligence (AI) as its central component, has resulted in the mechanization of numerous previously labor-intensive activities. The use of in silico tools has become prevale...

NeuroPpred-SVM: A New Model for Predicting Neuropeptides Based on Embeddings of BERT.

Journal of proteome research
Neuropeptides play pivotal roles in different physiological processes and are related to different kinds of diseases. Identification of neuropeptides is of great benefit for studying the mechanism of these physiological processes and the treatment of...

AI protein structure prediction-based modeling and mutagenesis of a protostome receptor and peptide ligands reveal key residues for their interaction.

The Journal of biological chemistry
The protostome leucokinin (LK) signaling system, including LK peptides and their G protein-coupled receptors, has been characterized in several species. Despite the progress, molecular mechanisms governing LK peptide-receptor interactions remain to b...

Identification of Synovial Fibroblast-Associated Neuropeptide Genes and m6A Factors in Rheumatoid Arthritis Using Single-Cell Analysis and Machine Learning.

Disease markers
OBJECTIVES: Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) play an important role in the development and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the pathogenic mechanism of SFs remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate how neuropeptides ...

Prediction of Neuropeptides from Sequence Information Using Ensemble Classifier and Hybrid Features.

Journal of proteome research
As hormones in the endocrine system and neurotransmitters in the immune system, neuropeptides (NPs) provide many opportunities for the discovery of new drugs and targets for nervous system disorders. In spite of their importance in the hormonal regul...

NeuroPIpred: a tool to predict, design and scan insect neuropeptides.

Scientific reports
Insect neuropeptides and their associated receptors have been one of the potential targets for the pest control. The present study describes in silico models developed using natural and modified insect neuropeptides for predicting and designing new n...

NeuroScale: evolutional scale-based protein language models enable prediction of neuropeptides.

BMC biology
BACKGROUND: Neuropeptides (NPs) are critical signaling molecules involved in various physiological and behavioral processes, including development, metabolism, and memory. They function within both the nervous and endocrine systems and have emerged a...

NeuroPred-AIMP: Multimodal Deep Learning for Neuropeptide Prediction via Protein Language Modeling and Temporal Convolutional Networks.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Neuropeptides are key signaling molecules that regulate fundamental physiological processes ranging from metabolism to cognitive function. However, accurate identification is a huge challenge due to sequence heterogeneity, obscured functional motifs ...
