Cell science has made significant progress by focusing on understanding individual cellular processes through reductionist approaches. However, the sheer volume of knowledge collected presents challenges in integrating this information across different scales of space and time to comprehend cellular behaviors, as well as making the data and methods more accessible for the community to tackle complex biological questions. This perspective proposes the creation of next-generation virtual cells, which are dynamic 3D models that integrate information from diverse sources, including simulations, biophysical models, image-based models, and evidence-based knowledge graphs. These virtual cells would provide statistically accurate and holistic views of real cells, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and experimental data, and facilitating productive new collaborations among researchers across related fields.

The inhibition of the TIGIT/PVR interaction demonstrates considerable anticancer properties by enhancing the cytotoxic activity of natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells. However, the development of small molecule inhibitors that target TIGIT is currently limited. In this study, small molecules with the capacity to bind TIGIT and block the TIGIT/PVR interaction were screened through an advanced computational process, subsequently confirmed by blocking assays.

The FIKK protein family, encompassing 21 serine-threonine protein kinases, is a distinctive cluster exclusive to the Apicomplexa phylum. Predominantly located in which is a malarial parasite, with a solitary gene identified in a distinct apicomplexan species, this family derives its nomenclature from - phenylalanine, isoleucine, lysine, lysine (FIKK), a conserved amino acid motif. Integral to the parasite's life cycle and consequential to malaria pathogenesis, the absence of orthologous proteins in eukaryotic organisms designates it as a promising antimalarial drug target.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease marked by joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and chronic synovitis, arising from the dysregulated interaction between synoviocytes and immune cells. Its unclear etiology makes finding a cure challenging. The concept of digital twins, used in engineering, can be applied to healthcare to improve diagnosis and treatment for complex diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

The development of phosphorylation-suppressing inhibitors targeting Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) represents a promising therapeutic strategy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, a generative model was developed using transfer learning and virtual screening, leveraging a comprehensive dataset of STAT3 inhibitors to explore the chemical space for novel candidates. This approach yielded a chemically diverse library of compounds, which were prioritized through molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
