Predicting Antibody Developability: Machine Learning Meets Therapeutic Antibodies

Antibody developability refers to an antibody’s suitability for clinical use, including properties such as solubility, stability, and aggregation. These traits are traditionally assessed through experimental screening, which is time-consuming and resource heavy. Machine learning offers a promising alternative for early prediction of developability, though many existing models are still in early st

LoVis4u : a locus visualization tool for comparative genomics and coverage profiles

Comparative genomic analysis often involves visualization of alignments of genomic loci. While several software tools are available for this task, ranging from Python and R libraries to stand-alone graphical user interfaces, a tool is lacking that offers fast, automated usage and the production of publication-ready vector images. Here we present LoVis4u, a command-line tool and Python API designed

Iberian Anarchism in Environmental History

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in anarchism from both social movements and critical academic circles. When tracing the genealogy of anarchist perspectives since the nineteenth century, radical geographers have pointed out the importance of the anarchist movement in Spain, and particularly in the city of Barcelona. During the 1960s and 1970s, authors like Murray Bookchin shared

Exposure to Lead and Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis : A Swedish Cross-Sectional Population-Based Study

BACKGROUND: Lead is an established causal risk factor for coronary heart disease. Atherosclerosis may be the key mediator for this association, but evidence from studies in humans is limited. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that environmental lead exposure is associated with coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS: We used cross-sectional data from the SCAPIS (Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage S

Simulated Climate Change Enhances Microbial Drought Resilience in Ethiopian Croplands but Not Forests

Climate change and land-use change represent a dual threat to terrestrial ecosystem functioning. In the tropics, forest conversion to agriculture is occurring alongside warming and more pronounced periods of drought. Rainfall after drought induces enormous dynamics in microbial growth (potential soil carbon storage) and respiration (determining carbon loss), affecting the ecosystem carbon budget.

The PARADIGM project – I. How early merger histories shape the present-day sizes of Milky-Way-mass galaxies

How mergers affect galaxy formation depends on both feedback processes, and on the geometry and strength of the mergers themselves. We introduce the PARADIGM project, where we study the response of a simulated Milky-Way-mass galaxy (M200c ∼ 1012 M at z = 0) forming in a cosmological setting to differing merger histories, using genetically modified initial conditions, each simulated with the VINTER
