While predicting structure-function relationships from sequence data is fundamental in biophysical chemistry, identifying prospective single-point and collective mutation sites in proteins can help us stay ahead in understanding their potential effects on protein structure and function. Addressing the challenges of large sequence-space analysis, we present EVOLVE, a web tool enabling researchers to explore prospective mutation sites and their collective behavior. EVOLVE integrates a statistical mechanics-guided machine learning algorithms to predict probable mutational sites, with statistical mechanics calculating mutational entropy to accurately identify mutational hotspots. Validation against a number of viral protein sequences confirms its ability to predict mutations and their functional consequences. By leveraging statistical mechanics of phase transition concept, EVOLVE also quantifies mutational entropy fluctuations, offering a quantitative foundation for identifying Variants of Concern (VOC) or Variants under Monitoring (VUM) as per World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. EVOLVE streamlines data upload and analysis with a user-friendly interface and comprehensive tutorials. Access EVOLVE free at https://evolve-iiserkol.com.

Background: This study aims to analyze research trends and emerging insights into gut microbiota studies from 2015 to 2024 through bibliometric analysis techniques. By examining bibliographic data from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, it seeks to identify key research topics, evolving themes, and significant shifts in gut microbiota research. The study employs co-occurrence analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and burst detection analysis to uncover latent patterns and the development trajectory of this rapidly expanding field.

Background: Since Ludwig proposed the term "nonalcoholic steatohepatitis" (NASH) for this liver disease in 1980, there have been many advances in understanding it, including its epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, and treatment.
Objective: This literature review aims to discuss the most relevant aspects of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods: The review included clinical studies from the following databases: Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Ovid, and Scopus.

We propose a two parameters extension of the flat ΛCDM model to capture the impact of matter inhomogeneities on our cosmological inference. Non virialized but nonlinearly evolving overdense and underdense regions, whose abundance is quantified using the Press-Schechter formalism, are collectively described by two effective perfect fluids ρ_{c}, ρ_{v} with nonvanishing equation of state parameters w_{c,v}≠0. These fluids are coupled to the pressureless dust, akin to an interacting DM-DE scenario.

Background: The ability to access and evaluate online health information is essential for young adults to manage their physical and mental well-being. With the growing integration of the internet, mobile technology, and social media, young adults (aged 18-30 years) are increasingly turning to digital platforms for health-related content. Despite this trend, there remains a lack of systematic insights into their specific behaviors, preferences, and needs when seeking health information online.

Introduction: This bibliometric analysis aims to explore global trends, research hotspots, and future directions in multidrug resistance of multiple myeloma (MM), providing insights for overcoming resistance mechanisms and optimizing therapeutic strategies.
Methods: We analyzed 3300 publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (2015-2024) using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. Multidimensional evaluations of countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords were conducted, supplemented by visual network mapping to elucidate research dynamics and collaborative patterns.
