AgentFold: Closed-Loop Agentic Search for Protein Folding Model Design

AgentFold is presented, a multi-agent framework that formulates folding-model development as a closed-loop search over executable code variants and improves the best lDDT by 7.5% over independent Codex proposals and outperforms a random-search control.

Human iPSC-cardiomyocyte-aggregate cell therapy in non-human primates and correlation of heart recovery with contractile and electrophysiological cardiomyocyte properties

This study demonstrates the successful production and injection of human induced pluripotent stem cell cardiomyocyte aggregates into infarcted cynomolgus monkey hearts, resulting in substantial, structured human grafts three months after cell transplantation, and uncoupling of cardiomyocyte production from transplantat...

Diesel particulate matter induces dose-dependent cytotoxicity, multi-faceted inflammation, MAPK activation, and oxidative stress in RAW 264.7 macrophages: an integrated transcriptomic and protein–protein interaction network analysis

Beyond classical inflammation, these integrated findings reveal coordinated network-level perturbations consistent with ferroptosis vulnerability, genome instability, paradoxical immune dysregulation, and potential macrophage identity loss consistent with ferroptosis vulnerability, genome instability, paradoxical immun...

Scarless SARS-CoV-2 Genome Engineering and Variant Analysis

A genome engineering technology is used to change a single amino acid in the viruses’ main protease enzyme to match that of circulating Omicron isolates to demonstrate antiviral efficacy of approved drugs and uncover mutants with reduced drug sensitivity.

Gene identity, not variant effect, dominates ClinVar benchmarks of missense pathogenicity predictors

It is found that this test to judge whether a computer program predicts whether a genetic variant causes disease is easier to pass than it looks, and about half the advantage held by programs trained on clinical data disappears once the gene pattern is removed.

In Vivo Screening for a Promising Antiparasitic Agent Against Neobenedenia melleni in Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀ × E. lanceolatus♂ and Identification of Its Potential Target

Findings highlight compound D as a promising lead candidate for short-bath therapy against N. melleni and suggest that cytoskeletal disruption through β-tubulin interaction represents a plausible mechanism of action.

Quercetin Attenuates Vocal Fold Fibrosis via PI3K/AKT and MAPK Pathways: An Integrative Network Pharmacology and Experimental Study.

Quercetin exerts anti-fibrotic effects on vocal folds by multi-target inhibition of PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways, thereby modulating fibroblast behavior, preserving extracellular matrix integrity, and restoring key matrix components such as hyaluronic acid and elastic fibers.
