Identification of virulence factors (VFs) is critical for expanding our knowledge on bacterial pathogenesis and also for developing targeted strategies for the prevention and treatment of related infectious diseases. Understanding virulence factors r...
Fungi are closely associated with various diseases, among which Candida albicans (C. albicans) is recognized as an important pathogen in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Fungal pathogenicity is primarily mediated by virulence factors (VFs); therefor...
BACKGROUND: Bacterial infections rank as the second leading cause of death globally, with virulence factors (VFs) being crucial to their pathogenicity. Predicting VFs accurately can uncover mechanisms of bacterial diseases and suggest new treatments....
remains one of the most elusive targets in bacterial vaccinology, primarily due to its complex immune evasion strategies and the phenomenon of immune imprinting. Despite decades of research and numerous clinical trials, no vaccine has demonstrated p...

Rickettsia is a genus of bacteria that are obligate intracellular parasites and are responsible for the febrile diseases known collectively as Rickettsioses. The emergence of antibiotic resistance is an escalating concern and thus developing a vaccin...
Identifying and characterizing virulence proteins secreted by Gram-negative bacteria are fundamental for deciphering microbial pathogenicity as well as aiding the development of therapeutic strategies. Effector predictors utilizing pre-trained protei...
Identification of bacterial protein-protein interactions and predicting the structures of these complexes could aid in the understanding of pathogenicity mechanisms and developing treatments for infectious diseases. Here we developed RoseTTAFold2-Lit...
Virulencefactors (VFs) are key molecules that enable pathogens to evade the immune systems of the host. These factors are crucial for revealing the pathogenic processes of microbes and drug discovery. Identification of virulence factors in microbes b...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a type of Gram-negative bacterium which can cause a range of infections in human. In recent years, an increasing number of strains of K. pneumoniae resistant to multiple antibiotics have emerged, posing a significant threat t...
