Analyzing host-microbe interactions is essential for understanding how microbiota changes disrupt host homeostasis. Here, we present a protocol for predicting host-microbe protein-protein interactions and their downstream effects using MicrobioLink. We describe steps for setting up the environment, installing software, and preparing human transcriptomic and bacterial proteomic data. The protocol outlines procedures for predicting protein-protein interactions through domain-motif interactions, integrating multi-omic datasets to map downstream effects, performing network analyses to identify key regulatory pathways, and visualizing multi-layered networks for systems-level data interpretation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gul et al. and Poletti et al..

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the devastating neurological disorders that leads to a loss of motor and sensory functions. Long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (lncRNA SNHG6) plays a crucial role in inflammatory regulation across various diseases. This study investigates the role of SNHG6 in SCI development and its underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Background: Accurate differentiation between benign and malignant pancreatic lesions is critical for effective patient management. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel deep learning network using baseline computed tomography (CT) images to predict the classification of pancreatic lesions.
Methods: This retrospective study included 864 patients (422 men, 442 women) with confirmed histopathological results across three medical centers, forming a training cohort, internal testing cohort, and external validation cohort.
Melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigment. In contrast to non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma is more invasive. Melanoma was distinguished by its rapid progression, high metastatic potential, and significant resistance to conventional therapies.

The formation of novel complexes from so far non-investigated ligands and different metal centers is important for the development of new functional materials such as (photo)catalysts or biologically active compounds. Still, promising strategies to quickly and systematically investigate the complexation behavior of selected ligands are rare. We developed an NMR-based screening approach to monitor changes within reaction mixtures containing metals and ligands on a small scale a simple but reliable protocol.

The Critical Assessment of PRedicted Interactions (CAPRI) experiment has served for over two decades as a key means to assess and compare current approaches and methods through blind predictive scenarios, highlighting useful strategies, and new developments. Here we describe the performance of our laboratory's team in recent CAPRI rounds, which included submissions for 10 modeling targets.
