Accurate and Efficient Algorithm for Detection of Alzheimer Disability Based on Deep Learning.

Background/aims: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that severely affects cognitive functions and memory. Early detection is crucial for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. However, traditional diagnostic tools, such as MRI and PET scans, are costly and less accessible.

Three Parts of the Plant Genome: On the Way to Success in the Production of Recombinant Proteins.

Recombinant proteins are the most important product of current industrial biotechnology. They are indispensable in medicine (for diagnostics and treatment), food and chemical industries, and research. Plant cells combine advantages of the eukaryotic protein production system with simplicity and efficacy of the bacterial one.

Increasing the Efficiency of the Accumulation of Recombinant Proteins in Plant Cells: The Role of Transport Signal Peptides.

The problem with increasing the yield of recombinant proteins is resolvable using different approaches, including the transport of a target protein to cell compartments with a low protease activity. In the cell, protein targeting involves short-signal peptide sequences recognized by intracellular protein transport systems. The main systems of the protein transport across membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and endosymbiotic organelles are reviewed here, as are the major types and structure of the signal sequences targeting proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum and its derivatives, to plastids, and to mitochondria.

Optimization of Genome Knock-In Method: Search for the Most Efficient Genome Regions for Transgene Expression in Plants.

Plant expression systems are currently regarded as promising alternative platforms for the production of recombinant proteins, including the proteins for biopharmaceutical purposes. However, the accumulation level of a target protein in plant expression systems is still rather low compared with the other existing systems, namely, mammalian, yeast, and cells. To solve this problem, numerous methods and approaches have been designed and developed.

Assessment of the Level of Accumulation of the dIFN Protein Integrated by the Knock-In Method into the Region of the Histone H3.3 Gene of .

Targeted DNA integration into known locations in the genome has potential advantages over the random insertional events typically achieved using conventional means of genetic modification. We investigated the possibility of obtaining a suspension cell culture of carrying a site-specific integration of a target gene encoding modified human interferon (dIFN) using endonuclease Cas9. For the targeted insertion, we selected the region of the histone H3.

The recombinant fusion protein CFP10-ESAT6-dIFN has protective effect against tuberculosis in guinea pigs.

Development of effective vaccine candidates against tuberculosis is currently the most important challenge in the prevention of this disease since the BCG vaccine fails to guarantee a lifelong protection, while any other approved vaccine with better efficiency is still absent. The protective effect of the recombinant fusion protein ESAT6-CFP10-dIFN produced in a prokaryotic expression system (Escherichia coli) has been assessed in a guinea pig model of acute tuberculosis. The tested antigen comprises the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) proteins ESAT6 and CFP10 as well as modified human γ-interferon (dIFN) for boosting the immune response.

FlowerMorphology: fully automatic flower morphometry software.

The software FlowerMorphology is designed for automatic morphometry of actinomorphic flowers. The novel complex parameters of flowers calculated by FlowerMorphology allowed us to quantitatively characterize a polyploid series of tobacco. Morphological differences of plants representing closely related lineages or mutants are mostly quantitative.
