June 2025 in “Gut Microbes” This study developed BroadAMP-GPT, a computational-experimental framework, to discover new antimicrobial peptides, identifying candidates effective against multidrug-resistant pathogens. Notably, AMP_S13 showed strong stability, low toxicity, and efficacy in infection models, highlighting the platform's potential in combating antimicrobial resistance.
June 2025 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” In this study, a mouse model with a PIK3CA gain-of-function mutation in Schwann cells revealed unique communication with neighboring cells and a glycolytic shift in peripheral nerves, and early alpelisib treatment significantly improved symptoms, though efficacy declined with delayed administration due to limited drug penetration.
4 citations
