We are entering an era in which therapeutic proteins are assembled using building block-like strategies, with no standardized schema to discuss these formats. Existing nomenclatures, like AbML, sacrifice human readability for precision. Therefore, considering even a dozen such formats, in combination with hundreds of possible targets, can create confusion and increase the complexity of drug discovery. To address this challenge, we introduce Verified Taxonomy for Antibodies (VERITAS). This classification and nomenclature scheme is extensible to multispecific therapeutic formats and beyond. VERITAS names are easy to understand while drawing direct connections to the structure of a given format, with or without specific target information, making these names useful to adopt in scientific discourse and as inputs to machine learning algorithms for drug development.

A generation ago thrombolytic therapy led to a paradigm shift in myocardial infarction (MI), from Q-wave/non-Q-wave to ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) vs non-STEMI. Using STE on the electrocardiogram (ECG) as a surrogate marker for acute coronary occlusion (ACO) allowed for rapid diagnosis and treatment. But the vast research catalyzed by the STEMI paradigm has revealed increasing anomalies: 25% of "non-STEMI" have ACO with delayed reperfusion and higher mortality.

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into modern agriculture has profound implications on data collection, management, and decision-making processes. However, ensuring the security of agricultural data has consistently posed a significant challenge. This study presents a novel evaluation metric titled Latency Aware Accuracy Index (LAAI) for the purpose of optimizing data security in the agricultural sector.

Research Institute for Healthy Living, Niigata University of Pharmacy and Applied Life Sciences, Niigata 956-8603, Japan.

TRUE gene silencing is an RNA-mediated gene expression control technology and is termed after tRNase Z-utilizing efficacious gene silencing. In this review, I overview the potentiality of small guide RNA (sgRNA) for TRUE gene silencing as novel therapeutics. First, I describe the physiology of tRNase Z and cellular small RNA, and then sgRNA and TRUE gene silencing.

We have been developing a gene silencing technology by harnessing a tRNA 3' processing endoribonuclease, tRNase Z, with antisense oligonucleotides. Here, to further improve this technology, we investigated how the length and the modifications of naked oligonucleotides affect the efficiency of their uptake by HeLa, HEK293, and HL60 cells by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. 7-30-nt Alexa-Fluor-568-labeled DNAs with phosphorothioate linkages and 7-30-nt Alexa-Fluor-568-labeled, 2'-O-methylated RNAs without phosphorothioate linkages were examined, and, on the whole, longer oligonucleotides were shown to be intracellularly taken up more efficiently.
