In asking what progress might occur in molecular modeling in the next 25 years it is worth asking what progress has been made in the last twenty-five. In doing so it is hard to be optimistic for the future of the field unless a greater commitment is made to basic science.

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a prevalent, fatal degenerative muscle disease with no effective treatments. Mdx mouse model of DMD exhibits impaired muscle performance, oxidative stress, and dysfunctional autophagy. Although antioxidant treatments may improve the mdx phenotype, the precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degradation. Persistent low-grade inflammation defines OA pathogenesis, with crucial involvement of pro-inflammatory M1-like macrophages. While mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and their small extracellular vesicles (sEV) hold promise for OA treatment, achieving consistent clinical-grade sEV products remains a significant challenge.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe condition with multifaceted causes, including inflammation and oxidative stress. This research investigates the influence of m6A (N6-methyladenosine) modification on GBP4, a protein pivotal for macrophage polarization, a critical immune response in ALI.
Methods: Utilizing a mouse model to induce ALI, the study analyzed GBP4 expression in alveolar macrophages.

Background: Drug and protein targets affect the physiological functions and metabolic effects of the body through bonding reactions, and accurate prediction of drug-protein target interactions is crucial for drug development. In order to shorten the drug development cycle and reduce costs, machine learning methods are gradually playing an important role in the field of drug-target interactions.
Results: Compared with other methods, regression-based drug target affinity is more representative of the binding ability.
