Tumor-specific HLA class I expression is required for cytotoxic T-cell elimination of cancer cells expressing tumor-associated or neo-antigens. Cancers downregulate antigen presentation to avoid adaptive immunity. The highly polymorphic nature of the genes encoding these proteins, coupled with quaternary-structure changes after formalin fixation, complicate detection by immunohistochemistry.

Motivation: Recent computational approaches for predicting phage-host interaction have explored the use of sequence-only protein language models to produce embeddings of phage proteins without manual feature engineering. However, these embeddings do not directly capture protein structure information and structure-informed signals related to host specificity.
Results: We present PHIStruct, a multilayer perceptron that takes in structure-aware embeddings of receptor-binding proteins, generated via the structure-aware protein language model SaProt, and then predicts the host from among the ESKAPEE genera.

Motivation: Predicting RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is central to understanding post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. Here, we introduce EnrichRBP, an automated and interpretable computational platform specifically designed for the comprehensive analysis of RBP interactions with RNA.
Results: EnrichRBP is a web service that enables researchers to develop original deep learning and machine learning architectures to explore the complex dynamics of RNA-binding proteins.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane-encapsulated nanoparticles shed from all cells, are tightly involved in critical cellular functions. Moreover, EVs have recently emerged as exciting therapeutic modalities, delivery vectors, and biomarker sources. However, EVs are difficult to characterize, because they are typically small and heterogeneous in size, origin, and molecular content.

Importance: Sexual violence against children is a global concern, yet worldwide figures of its prevalence are scant.
Objective: To estimate the global prevalence of sexual violence against children using national-level population-based studies.
Data Sources: We searched the PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, ERIC, and APA PsycArticles databases from their respective inceptions to March 2022.
