Complementarity determining region (CDR) is a specific region in antibody molecules that binds to antigens, where a small portion of residues undergoes particularly pronounced variations. Generating CDRs with high affinity and specificity is a pivotal milestone in accelerating drug development for daunting and unresolved diseases. However, existing approaches predominantly center on characterizing the attributes of residues through sequential generation models, thus falling short in effectively modeling the intricate spatial correlations among residues and frequently succumbing to the trap of generating sequences that exhibit a high degree of arbitrariness.

Medical image processing plays an important role in the interaction of real world and metaverse for healthcare. Self-supervised denoising based on sparse coding methods, without any prerequisite on large-scale training samples, has been attracting extensive attention for medical image processing. Whereas, existing self-supervised methods suffer from poor performance and low efficiency.

Considering melatonin plays an important role in proliferative regulation of central glial cells, the present study determined whether melatonin can effectively promote Schwann cell proliferation and improve nerve regeneration after PNI. The spontaneous immortalized rat Schwann cell line (RSC 96 cells) was first analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) to detect the potential existence of melatonin receptors.
