Article Abstract
Since the determination of the first molecular models of proteins there has been interest in creating proteins artificially, but such methods have only become widely successful in the last decade. Gradual improvements over a long period of time have now yielded numerous examples of non-natural proteins, many of which are built from repeated elements. In this review we discuss the design of such symmetrical proteins and their various applications in chemistry and medicine.

Acute necrotizing encephalopathy in a young adult triggered by adenovirus: a rare etiology of a devastating neurological syndrome.
Int J Emerg Med
September 2025
Family Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is a rare but severe neurological disorder characterized by rapid onset of fever, altered mental status, seizures, and multifocal brain lesions, particularly involving the thalami and brainstem. Often triggered by viral infections, its pathogenesis involves a hyperinflammatory response, resulting in blood-brain barrier disruption and necrosis of neural tissue. While influenza and herpesviruses are common etiological agents, adenovirus is a less frequently reported cause.

Membrane proteins are essential bio-macromolecules involved in numerous critical biological processes and serve as therapeutic targets for a wide range of modern pharmaceuticals. Small amphipathic molecules, called detergents or surfactants, are widely used for the isolation and structural characterization of these proteins. A key requirement for such studies is their ability to maintain membrane protein stability in aqueous solution, a task where conventional detergents often fall short.

The distribution of tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) shows remarkable inter-individual heterogeneity, including hemispheric asymmetry. However, the factors driving this asymmetry remain poorly understood. Here we explore whether tau asymmetry is linked to i) reduced inter-hemispheric brain connectivity (potentially restricting tau spread), or ii) asymmetry in amyloid-beta (Aβ) distribution (indicating greater hemisphere-specific vulnerability to AD pathology).

Aim: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor tofacitinib in the management of refractory perianal pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) under conditions of baseline immunosuppression and bone marrow suppression.
Methods: We present a 62-year-old male with a 4-month history of painful, progressive symmetrical perianal ulcerations diagnosed as PG, coexisting with condyloma acuminatum. The patient had a background of pure red cell aplasia and myasthenia gravis, and was undergoing chronic immunosuppressive therapy with prednisolone and tacrolimus.
Pelvic lipomatosis-A silent intruder in the pelvis: Clinical insights from a case report and literature analysis.

Department of Endocrinology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Rationale: This study aims to highlight the diagnostic challenges and multidisciplinary management of pelvic lipomatosis (PL), emphasizing imaging's pivotal role and the need for early intervention to mitigate long-term morbidity. With fewer than 200 reported cases, PL remains underrecognized; this case underscores its potential to mimic common gastrointestinal/urinary disorders, advocating for heightened clinical suspicion.
Patient Concerns: A 42-year-old male presented with a 2-day history of colicky abdominal pain under the xiphoid process, ac companied by nausea, vomiting, and watery stools.
