Background infections pose a significant challenge in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to child mortality. is linked to acute gastrointestinal illness and severe long-term consequences, including environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) and stunting. In 2018, our cross-sectional study in Ethiopia detected in 88% of stools from children aged 12-15 months, with an average of 11 species per stool using meta-total RNA sequencing.

Antigen processing and presentation via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are central to immune surveillance. Yet, quantifying the dynamic activity of MHC class I and II antigen presentation remains a critical challenge, particularly in diseases like cancer, infection and autoimmunity where these pathways are often disrupted. Current methods fall short in providing precise, sample-specific insights into antigen presentation, limiting our understanding of immune evasion and therapeutic responses.

Powerful generative AI models of protein-ligand structure have recently been proposed, but few of these methods support both flexible protein-ligand docking and affinity estimation. Of those that do, none can directly model multiple binding ligands concurrently or have been rigorously benchmarked on pharmacologically relevant drug targets, hindering their widespread adoption in drug discovery efforts. In this work, we propose FlowDock, the first deep geometric generative model based on conditional flow matching that learns to directly map unbound (apo) structures to their bound (holo) counterparts for an arbitrary number of binding ligands.

Animals survive in dynamic environments changing at arbitrary timescales, but such data distribution shifts are a challenge to neural networks. To adapt to change, neural systems may change a large number of parameters, which is a slow process involving forgetting past information. In contrast, animals leverage distribution changes to segment their stream of experience into tasks and associate them with internal task abstracts.

Background: Malaria is a major public health problem in the Central African Republic (CAR). Data on malaria epidemiology are often derived from confirmed cases of symptomatic malaria using passive detection approaches, with very limited knowledge of the extent of subclinical and submicroscopic infections.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Bangui, the capital of the CAR, to assess the prevalence of subclinical malaria parasitaemia.
