Interferon-Stimulated Genes and Immune Metabolites as Broad-Spectrum Biomarkers for Viral Infections by Chien-Hsin Huang, Maudry Laurent-Rolle, Tyler L. Grove, Jack Chun-Chieh Hsu

“…The type I interferon (IFN-I) response is a critical component of the immune defense against various viral pathogens, triggering the expression of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). These ISGs encode proteins with diverse antiviral functions, targeting various stages of viral replication and restricting infection spread. …”

‘It’s bawdier in Greek’: A.C. Swinburne’s Subversions of the Hellenic Code by Charlotte Ribeyrol

“…And yet, this public or rather ‘official’ use of the Hellenic tongue to encode cultural excellence may be contrasted with the poet’s subversive treatment of Greek in his correspondence exploring more personal Sadian fantasies. …”

Molecular Generation and Optimization of Molecular Properties Using a Transformer Model by Zhongyin Xu, Xiujuan Lei, Mei Ma, Yi Pan

“…Threshold intervals and state changes are then used to encode logD and solubility for subsequent tests. During the experiments, we screen the data based on the proportion of heavy atoms to all atoms in the groups and select 12365, 1503, and 1570 MMPs as the training, validation, and test sets, respectively. …”

The Emerging Functions of Long Noncoding RNA in Immune Cells: Autoimmune Diseases by Keshav Raj Sigdel, Ao Cheng, Yin Wang, Lihua Duan, YanLin Zhang

“…The long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts more than 200 nucleotides in length, which do not encode proteins. The lncRNAs are emerging as an important regulator of biological process, such as chromatin remodeling, gene transcription, protein transport, and trafficking through diverse mechanisms. …”
