Bragg Spot Finder (BSF): a new machine-learning-aided approach to deal with spot finding for rapidly filtering diffraction pattern images.

Macromolecular crystallography contributes significantly to understanding diseases and, more importantly, how to treat them by providing atomic resolution 3D structures of proteins. This is achieved by collecting X-ray diffraction images of protein crystals from important biological pathways. Spotfinders are used to detect the presence of crystals with usable data, and the spots from such crystals are the primary data used to solve the relevant structures.

Evaluation of factors associated the expression of anti-HBs in children in Hunan Province, China.

Background And Objectives: Vaccine is the most essential avenue to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in infants and preschool children in China, with the largest populations carrying HBV in the world. This study aimed to evaluate the factors associating the response level of anti-HBs in children, providing instructions for HBV prevention clinically.

Methods: The children taking physical examinations in the Third Xiangya Hospital from January 2013 to April 2020 were recruited.

Interaction between m6A and ncRNAs and Its Association with Diseases.

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNA) are a kind of endogenous RNA that regulate many vital bioprocesses with limited ability to encode polypeptides. Most of them are involved in transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulations, thus showing some biological effects. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification is a reversible modification that adjusts RNA's functions and stability.

Identification and validation of four photodynamic therapy related genes inhibiting MAPK and inducing cell cycle alteration in squamous cell carcinoma.

Introduction: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising modality against cSCC. This study investigated the impact of PDT on the MAPK pathway and cell cycle alternation of cSCC as well as the related molecular mechanisms.

Method: Expressing mRNA profile data sets GSE98767, GSE45216, and GSE84758 were acquired from the GEO database.
