As severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to evolve, mortality rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have significantly decreased. However, a variable proportion of patients exhibit persistent prolonged symptoms of COVID-19 infection (long COVID). This virus primarily attacks respiratory system, but numerous individuals complain persistent skeletal muscle pain or worsening pre-existing muscle pain post COVID-19, which severely affects the quality of life and recovery.

The rapid discovery of photocatalysts with desired performance among tens of thousands of potential perovskites represents a significant advancement. To expedite the design of perovskite-oxide-based photocatalysts, we developed a model of ABO-type perovskites using machine learning methods based on atomic and experimental parameters. This model can be used to predict specific surface area (SSA), a key parameter closely associated with photocatalytic activity.

It is a great challenge to acquire novel BiWO/MIL-53(Al) (BWO/MIL) nanocomposites with excellent catalytic activity by the trial-and-error method in the vast untapped synthetic space. The degradation rate of Rhodamine B dye (DR) can be used as the main parameter to evaluate the catalytic activity of BWO/MIL nanocomposites. In this work, a machine learning-based nano-photocatalyst module was developed to speed up the design of BWO/MIL with desirable performance.

Targeting of PP2A suggests a close link to tau-related cognitive and functional declines. However, little is known about how the expression of PP2A subunits and PP2A activity are dysregulated in the course of AD, precluding any specific targeting strategy for restoring PP2A in AD patients. Although the PP2A heterotrimer containing the regulatory subunit PR55/Bα (encoded by the gene) is the major tau phosphatase, the involvement of other brain-specific PP2A regulatory subunits in tau dephosphorylation remains unknown.

For safely using the untested metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) in industrial and commercial applications, it is important to predict their potential toxicities quickly and efficiently. In this research, the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model based on support vector regression (SVR) with a residual bootstrapping technique (BTSVR) was proposed to predict the toxicities of MONPs. It was found that the main features influencing the toxicities of MONPs were RA (atomic ratio of oxygen to metal), ΔH (enthalpy of melting), and E (cohesive energy).
