- Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a serious bloodborne virus causing liver disease, and currently, there are no effective vaccines to prevent its spread, highlighting the importance of understanding T cell epitopes (TCEs) in immune response.
- TCellPredX is a new prediction tool designed to identify TCEs related to HCV by using advanced machine learning techniques and a variety of feature encodings, which together improve the predictive accuracy of TCE identification.
- The tool has demonstrated high accuracy scores (0.900 and 0.897) in identifying relevant peptides for vaccine development, establishing TCellPredX as a significant resource for future research aimed at creating an effective HCV vaccine.

- Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) primarily affects overweight or obese women of reproductive age, making it crucial to investigate its relationship with pregnancy.
- A study examined the incidence of IIH development during pregnancy and its association with hypertensive disorders, finding that 7% of IIH patients experienced new onset IIH during their pregnancies.
- IIH patients had significantly higher risks for various hypertensive disorders like eclampsia, preeclampsia, and HELLP syndrome, as well as complications like ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, even when controlling for obesity and migraine factors.
Gluten proteins in cereal grains are often considered unsafe for health.
