More than 1,800 changes in the synthesis and structure of hemoglobin (Hb) are estimated to exist. Many of them can be identified by chromatographic and electrophoretic analyses. However, in some cases, critical interpretation, accompanied by molecular techniques and gene sequencing, is necessary for diagnosis.

Background: Early identification of bipolar disorder (BD) provides an important opportunity for timely intervention. In this study, we aimed to develop machine learning models using large-scale electronic health record (EHR) data including clinical notes for predicting early-onset BD.

Methods: Structured and unstructured data were extracted from the longitudinal EHR of the Mass General Brigham health system.

The copper complex of the tripeptide glycine-histidine-lysine (GHK) has proven benefits in wound healing and tissue remodeling by promoting blood vessel growth and increasing skin oxygen levels, but its activity is reduced in body fluids due to fast proteolytic cleavage. Herein, we designed several peptides that bear the GHK sequence and can self-assemble into supramolecular nanostructures aiming for enhanced bioactivity. The design involves a phenylalanine (F) backbone known for its ability to form supramolecular assemblies.
