The use of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has resulted in a remarkable reduction in morbidity and mortality of people living with HIV worldwide. Nevertheless, interindividual variations in drug response often impose a challenge to cART effectiveness. Although personalized therapeutic regimens may help overcome incidence of adverse reactions and therapeutic failure attributed to host factors, pharmacogenetic studies are often restricted to a few populations. Latin American countries accounted for 2.1 million people living with HIV and 1.4 million undergoing cART in 2020-21. The present review describes the state of art of HIV pharmacogenetics in this region and highlights that such analyses remain to be given the required relevance. A broad analysis of pharmacogenetic markers in Latin America could not only provide a better understanding of genetic structure of these populations, but might also be crucial to develop more informative dosing algorithms, applicable to non-European populations.

Artificial intelligence technology has demonstrated remarkable diagnostic efficacy in modern biomedical image analysis. However, the practical application of artificial intelligence is significantly limited by the presence of similar pathologies among different diseases and the diversity of pathologies within the same disease. To address this issue, this paper proposes a reinforced collaborative-competitive representation classification (RCCRC) method.

Exploring the conformational space of molecules remains a challenge of fundamental importance to quantum chemistry: identification of relevant conformers at ambient conditions enables predictive simulations of almost arbitrary properties. Here, we propose a novel approach, called TTConf, to enable conformational sampling of large organic molecules where the combinatorial explosion of possible conformers prevents the use of a brute-force systematic conformer search. We employ tensor trains as a highly efficient dimensionality reduction algorithm, effectively reducing the scaling from exponential to polynomial.

Protein structure holds immense potential for pathogenicity prediction, albeit structure-based predictors are limited compared to the sequence-based counterparts due to the "structure knowledge gap" between large number of available protein sequences and relatively limited number of structures. Leveraging the highly accurate protein structures predicted by AlphaFold2 (AF2), we introduce AFFIPred, an ensemble machine learning classifier that combines sequence and AF2-based structural characteristics to predict missense variant pathogenicity. Based on the assessments on unseen datasets, AFFIPred reached a comparable level of performance with the state-of-the-art predictors such as AlphaMissense.

Protein aggregation is critical to various biological and pathological processes. Besides, it is also an important property in biotherapeutic development. However, experimental methods to profile protein aggregation are costly and labor-intensive, driving the need for more efficient computational alternatives.

Introduction: Amyloidosis, a polymeric deposition disease classified according to protein subtype, may have varied pulmonary manifestations. Its anatomic-radiologic phenotypes include nodular, cystic, alveolar-septal, and tracheobronchial forms. Clinical presentation may range from asymptomatic parenchymal nodules to respiratory failure from diffuse parenchymal infiltration or diaphragmatic deposition.
