Mining microbial genomes for new natural products and biosynthetic pathways [PDF]
Analyses of microbial genome sequences have revealed numerous examples of ‘cryptic’ or ‘orphan’ biosynthetic gene clusters, with the potential to direct the production of novel, structurally complex natural products.

Large-scale Biological Meta-database Management [PDF]
Up-to-date meta-databases are vital for the analysis of biological data. However,the current exponential increase in biological data leads to exponentially increasing meta-database sizes. Large-scale meta-database management is therefore an important challenge for production platforms providing services for biological data analysis.

Processive and Distributive Non-Equilibrium Networks Discriminate in Alternate Limits [PDF]
We study biochemical reaction networks capable of product discrimination inspired by biological proofreading mechanisms. At equilibrium, product discrimination, the selective formation of a "correct" product with respect to an "incorrect product", is fundamentally limited by the free energy difference between the two products.

Copper-containing mesoporous bioactive glass promotes angiogenesis in an in vivo zebrafish model [PDF]
The osteogenic and angiogenic responses of organisms to the ionic products of degradation of bioactive glasses (BGs) are being intensively investigated. The promotion of angiogenesis by copper (Cu) has been known for more than three decades. This element

Artificial intelligence and biological misuse: Differentiating risks of language models and biological design tools [PDF]
As advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) propel progress in the life sciences, they may also enable the weaponisation and misuse of biological agents. This article differentiates two classes of AI tools that could pose such biosecurity risks: large language models (LLMs) and biological design tools (BDTs). LLMs, such as GPT-4 and its successors,

Research Advances on the Stability of mRNA Vaccines
Compared to other vaccines, the inherent properties of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines and their interaction with lipid nanoparticles make them considerably unstable throughout their life cycles, impacting their effectiveness and global accessibility.

Real-Time Interactive Modeling and Simulation in Biological Physics and Active Matter with Mechanica [PDF]
Modeling and simulation (M&S) has revolutionized the way modern engineered products are designed, tested and evaluated. Yet modeling and simulation is much less frequently applied in the study of natural biological and active matter systems. Two of the greatest challenges in applying M\&S approaches to natural biological systems are (1) difficulty in ...
