Decoding glycosylation potential from protein structure across human glycoproteins with a multi-view recurrent neural network.

Glycosylation is described as a non-templated biosynthesis. Yet, the template-free premise is antithetical to the observation that different N-glycans are consistently placed at specific sites. It has been proposed that glycosite-proximal protein structures could constrain glycosylation and explain the observed microheterogeneity.

Evaluation of the use of component separation in elderly patients: results of a large cohort study with 30-day follow-up.

Background: The incidence of massive ventral hernias among the elderly will increase as the population ages. Advanced age is often viewed as a contraindication to elective hernia repair. A relationship between age and complications of component separation procedures for ventral hernias is not well established.
