Article Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are common inflammatory diseases in spine surgery. However, it is a project where the relationship between the two diseases is ambiguous and the efficiency of drug discovery is limited. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate new drug therapies for SCI and AS. First, text mining was used to obtain the interacting genes related to SCI and AS, and then, the functional analysis was conducted. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed by STRING online and Cytoscape software to identify hub genes. Last, hub genes and potential drugs were performed after undergoing drug-gene interaction analysis, and MicroRNA and transcription factors regulatory networks were also analyzed. Two hundred five genes common to "SCI" and "AS" identified by text mining were enriched in inflammatory responses. PPI network analysis showed that 30 genes constructed two significant modules. Ultimately, nine (, , , , , , , , and ) out of 30 genes could be targetable by a total of 13 drugs. In conclusion, the novel core genes contribute to a novel insight for latent functional mechanisms and present potential prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets in SCI and AS.

Proliferative retinopathy is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in humans; however, the molecular mechanisms behind the immune cell-mediated retinal angiogenesis remain poorly elucidated. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, we identified an enrichment of sorting nexin (SNX)-related pathways, with SNX3, a member of the SNX family that is involved in endosomal sorting and trafficking, being significantly upregulated in the myeloid cell subpopulations of OIR retinas. Immunostaining showed that SNX3 expression is markedly increased in the retinal microglia/macrophages of mice with OIR, which is mainly located within and around the neovascular tufts.

Recombinant DNA technology is widely used to produce industrially and pharmaceutically important proteins. In silico analysis, performed before executing wet lab experiments has been greatly helpful in this connection. A shift in protein analysis has been observed over the past decade, driven by advancements in bioinformatics databases, tools, software, and web servers.

Pectinases are indispensable biocatalysts for pectin degradation in food and bioprocessing industries, yet natural enzymes often lack tailored functionalities for modern applications. While a previous review discussed pectinases in terms of production and application, this review particularly discusses an integrated framework for robust pectinases. This framework combines enzyme mining, protein engineering, and AI-assisted design to systematically discover, optimize, and customize pectinases.

Background: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) researchers and participants frequently encounter hostility in virtual environments, particularly on social media platforms where public commentary on research advertisements can foster stigmatization. Despite a growing body of work on researcher virtual hostility, little empirical research has examined the actual content and emotional tone of public responses to LGBTQIA+-focused research recruitment.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the thematic patterns and sentiment of social media comments directed at LGBTQIA+ research recruitment advertisements, in order to better understand how virtual stigma is communicated and how it may impact both researchers and potential participants.
Generative artificial intelligence for automated data extraction from unstructured medical text.

Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, United States.
Objectives: Unstructured data, such as procedure notes, contain valuable medical information that is frequently underutilized due to the labor-intensive nature of data extraction. This study aims to develop a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) pipeline using an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) with built-in guardrails and a retry mechanism to extract data from unstructured right heart catheterization (RHC) notes while minimizing errors, including hallucinations.
Materials And Methods: A total of 220 RHC notes were randomly selected for pipeline development and 200 for validation from the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Registry.
