The sequence method was first described by Di Rienzo in cats and applied in different species including humans. Until now, no systematic study of spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) has been performed by the sequence method in mice. This study aimed to characterize the best estimates of BRS using the sequence method by tuning all the possible parameters, specifically, the number of beats involved in a sequence, the minimal changes in blood-pressure (BP) ramps, and the minimal changes in pulse-interval (PI) ramps. Also, the relevance to set a minimal correlation coefficient in the regression line between BP and PI was tested. An important point was the delay to be applied between BP and PI. This delay represents the physiological time for the baroreflex loop to efficiently correct the BP variations.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small peptides that play an important role in disease defense. As the problem of pathogen resistance caused by the misuse of antibiotics intensifies, the identification of AMPs as alternatives to antibiotics has become a hot topic. Accurately identifying AMPs using computational methods has been a key issue in the field of bioinformatics in recent years.

Genes encoding OXA-48-like carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes are often located on plasmids and are abundant among carbapenemase-producing (CPE) worldwide. After a large plasmid-mediated outbreak in 2011, routine screening of patients at risk of CPE carriage on admission and every 7 days during hospitalization was implemented in a large hospital in the Netherlands. The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamics of the hospitals' 2011 outbreak-associated plasmid among CPE collected from 2011 to 2021.

Aim: The tumor microenvironment in pancreatic cancer, characterized by abundant desmoplastic stroma, has been implicated in the failure of chemotherapy. Therefore, developing therapeutic strategies targeting tumor and stromal cells is essential. Triptolide, a natural compound derived from the plant Tripterygium wilfordii, has shown antitumor activity in various cancers, including pancreatic cancer.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is implicated as a necessary factor in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) and may also be a driver of disease activity. Although it is not clear whether ongoing viral replication is the driver for MS pathology, MS researchers have considered the prospect of using drugs with potential efficacy against EBV in the treatment of MS. We have undertaken scientific and lived experience expert panel reviews to shortlist existing licensed therapies that could be used in later-stage clinical trials in MS.

Identifying drug-target binding affinity (DTA) plays a critical role in early-stage drug discovery. Despite the availability of various existing methods, there are still two limitations. Firstly, sequence-based methods often extract features from fixed length protein sequences, requiring truncation or padding, which can result in information loss or the introduction of unwanted noise.
