AI-Driven Structural Biology for Next-Generation Therapeutics Targeting Cancer-Associated Thrombosis and Metastasis

Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is a major complication in oncology, contributing to poor outcomes and increased mortality. Elevated levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and activation of the contact system drive both thrombus formation and metastatic progression in aggressive cancers such as pancreatic and ovarian.

Bioinformatic analysis of the function of mRNA poly(A) tails

Every molecular biology textbook will tell you that messenger RNAs are appended by a 200-250 nucleotide poly(A) tail in the nucleus and exported to the cytoplasm, where the poly(A) tail promotes translation of the mRNA and is gradually removed. Read more
