Background: Estrogens, such as 17β-estradiol, are the primary female sex hormones predominantly synthesized by mature ovarian follicular cells. The natural exhaustion of ovarian follicular cells during menopause causes a rapid decline in endogenous estrogen levels. This decline in estrogen levels is associated with an increase in chronic, age-related pathologies, including inflammation in the brain.

Pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) is a complex condition in which 2 consequential diseases interact and increase negative outcomes. Although the pathophysiologic mechanisms of PH-ILD are not yet well understood, the pronounced effect on functional status, supplemental oxygen requirements, health care resource utilization, and mortality that frequently accompany this diagnosis are well documented. A critical feature that complicates pathophysiologic understanding of PH-ILD is that progression of the pulmonary vascular disease does not always appear to be driven by the underlying lung disease.

Optimizing enzyme thermostability is essential for advancements in protein science and industrial applications. Currently, (semi-)rational design and random mutagenesis methods can accurately identify single-point mutations that enhance enzyme thermostability. However, complex epistatic interactions often arise when multiple mutation sites are combined, leading to the complete inactivation of combinatorial mutants.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are innate immune cells that exert far reaching influence over the tumor microenvironment (TME). Depending on cues within the local environment, TAMs may promote tumor angiogenesis, cancer cell invasion and immunosuppression, or, alternatively, inhibit tumor progression via neoantigen presentation, tumoricidal reactive oxygen species generation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. Therefore, TAMs have a pivotal role in determining tumor progression and response to therapy.

Angiogenesis is imperative for bone regeneration, yet the conventional cytokine therapies have been constrained by prohibitive costs and safety apprehensions. It is urgent to develop a safer and more efficient therapeutic alternative. Herein, utilizing the methodologies of Deep Learning (DL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), we proposed a paradigm algorithm that amalgamates with a variant, , to deftly discern potential pro-angiogenic peptides from intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of 262 related proteins, where are fertile grounds for developing safer and highly promising bioactive peptides.
