Calcium-dependent conformational transitions and ligand binding regulation of C-reactive protein: a comprehensive review

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a crucial biomarker of inflammation and a primary pattern recognition molecule of the innate immune system. It is predominantly synthesized by hepatocytes and subsequently released into the circulation. The concentration of CRP in plasma can increase significantly, sometimes by up to a tho...

Multiplexed single-molecule analysis of barcoded protein variants

Single-molecule techniques provide exceptional resolution of biomolecular dynamics but are limited by low throughput. Here, we present a DNA barcoding strategy that enables parallel kinetic profiling of multiple protein variants in a single experiment. Each protein is covalently linked to a unique DNA barcode, decode...

Development of a Chitosan-Based Nanoemulsion for Mitigating Microplastic-Induced Cytotoxicity and Oxidative Stress in RTgillW1 Fish Gill Cells

Microplastic pollution is an emerging environmental concern that induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular injury in aquatic organisms. Despite increasing evidence of microplastic toxicity, effective mitigation strategies remain limited. This study investigated the protective effects of a chitosan-based nano...

Armoring STEAP1 CAR T cells with IL-18 potentiates antitumor activity in Ewing sarcoma

Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is an aggressive malignancy of children, adolescents, and young adults driven by the EWS::FLI1 fusion oncoprotein with few effective treatment options in the relapsed or refractory setting. We validate six transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 1 (STEAP1) as a fusion-regulated and clinic...

A water-pinning hot spot drives templated tau aggregation

Tau assembles into fibrillar aggregates that are pathological hallmarks of a group of neurodegenerative diseases collectively called tauopathies. Templated aggregation of naïve tau to seeding-competent fibrils that proceed from cell to cell is a key driver of prion-like progression of tauopathies. This study tests the...

Nucleotide co-delivery modulates intracellular fate of LNP-delivered mRNA to enhance translation

Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics offer a versatile platform for protein production, but preserving mRNA during delivery remains a major challenge. Here, we report that co-delivery of nucleotides with lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-formulated mRNA significantly enhances translation efficiency across multiple cell types. Syst...

Scalable Decoupling Contact and Configuration Spaces in a Quantum-Enabled Protein Folding Workflow

Near-term quantum devices remain constrained by limited qubit counts, noise, and shallow circuit depth, restricting their direct application to peptide folding. This work addresses this limitation through a hybrid quantum–classical framework that separates global contact-space exploration from local configuration-space...

Co-upregulation of miR-23a-3p and Kcnk5 in a denervation-induced mouse disuse model: a hypothesis-generating observation

Denervation-induced muscle disuse is accompanied by transcriptional remodeling, but ion-channel-related transcripts and accompanying microRNA responses remain incompletely characterized. This research note examined whether Kcnk5 and mmu-miR-23a-3p are co-altered in a mouse tibialis anterior denervation model...

V3 Architecture: A Deterministic Computational Framework Based on Seven Absolute Invariants, a 50-Step Calculation Trajectory, and Multidisciplinary Applications

This deposit presents the complete V3 Architecture, a unified theoretical framework that replaces statistical estimation and empirical approximation with sequential deterministic calculation and formally proven invariants. The V3 Architecture rests on seven absolute invariants:1. Volumetric density: 1026.0 kg/m³ (the a...

Phosphorylation and pocket-binding ligands rewire the coupled networks in multidomain protein condensate

Biomolecular condensates formed by multidomain proteins are increasingly linked to disease and are emerging targets for chemical modulation. Yet most molecular models emphasize intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), whereas many available ligands bind folded-domain pockets. How IDR modifications and folded-domain lig...

Representation choice shapes the interpretation of protein conformational dynamics

Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations provide detailed trajectories at the atomic level, but extracting interpretable and robust insights from these high-dimensional data remains challenging. In practice, analyses typically rely on a single representation. Here, we show that representation choice is not neutral: it f...

Development of N -Hydroxyindole-2-Carboxamides as New Host-Targeted Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Agents Against Human Respiratory Viruses

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidoreductases are promising targets for host-targeted antiviral agents (HTAs) because of their essential role in protein folding, including the maturation of viral proteins. Human protein disulfide isomerase family member A3 (PDIA3) is involved in the folding of N-glycosylated client prot...
