Advancing the accuracy of tyrosinase inhibitory peptides prediction via a multiview feature fusion strategy by Watshara Shoombuatong, Nalini Schaduangrat, Nutta Homdee, Saeed Ahmed, Pramote Chumnanpuen

“…Finally, to maximize the utility of each feature, we fused probability-based and sequence-based features, generating more informative feature that were used to develop the final prediction model. Based on the independent test, experimental results showed that TIPred-MVFF outperformed several conventional ML classifiers and existing methods in terms of prediction accuracy and robustness, achieving an accuracy of 0.937 and a Matthew’s correlation coefficient of 0.847. …”

Succinate Supplement Elicited “Pseudohypoxia” Condition to Promote Proliferation, Migration, and Osteogenesis of Periodontal Ligament Cells by Huimin Mao, Andi Yang, Yunhe Zhao, Lang Lei, Houxuan Li

“…Moreover, we demonstrate that hypoxia-induced proliferation was G-protein-coupled receptor 91- (GPR91-) dependent, while exogenous succinate-elicited proliferation involved the GPR91-dependent and GPR91-independent pathway. In conclusion, the succinate supplement altered cell metabolism in hPDLCs, induced a pseudohypoxia condition, and enhanced proliferation, migration, and osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro.…”
