The study identifies Actinobaculum massiliense as a urinary pathobiont capable of generating androgens via the dirAB pathway, using a novel HSDH assay.

This study identifies a bacterial pathway for androgen production, showing that gut and urinary bacteria can convert androstenedione to epitestosterone and testosterone, which promote prostate cancer growth.

This study uses high-resolution computational modeling to uncover new molecular interactions between T. cruzi gp82 and LAMP2, revealing cooperative motions critical for host-cell invasion.

The paper investigates how anchor point selection affects the mechanical stability of an Affibody/PD-L1 complex using multiple experimental and computational methods.

The paper develops an integrated method combining dynamic network analysis with AI to predict epitopes in PD-L1:Affibody interactions, showing the perpendicular binding mode is more stable.

The paper evaluates AlphaFold's reliability in predicting mechanical properties of staph bacteria adhesins using in silico single-molecule force spectroscopy, showing high reliability for folds but limitations in complex predictions.
