An integrated in silico based subtractive genomics and reverse vaccinology approach for the identification of novel vaccine candidate and chimeric vaccine against XDR Salmonella typhi H58

Kanwal Khan et al.

Summary: Salmonella typhi, a highly drug-resistant strain causing enteric fever, requires urgent attention and development of new vaccines. In this study, a novel antigen chimeric vaccine candidate was successfully designed against S. typhi H58, targeting promising immunogenic peptides. These proteins, never characterized as vaccine targets before, show potential for further experimental studies.

A Novel Multi-Epitopic Peptide Vaccine Candidate Against Helicobacter pylori: In-Silico Identification, Design, Cloning and Validation Through Molecular Dynamics

Pratik Ghosh et al.

Summary: Helicobacter pylori is a highly potential pathogen colonizing in the human stomach, which poses serious health threats worldwide. Developing a novel vaccine construct using B-cell derived T-cell epitopes from four target antigenic proteins shows potential for inducing immune response. Additionally, protein-protein docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies suggest stable and proper binding interaction between Toll like receptor 5 and the vaccine candidate, indicating potential efficacy in combating H. pylori infection.

Plasma Hsp90 levels in patients with systemic sclerosis and relation to lung and skin involvement: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study

Hana Storkanova et al.

Summary: According to the study, plasma levels of Hsp90 are increased in patients with systemic sclerosis compared to healthy controls, and are associated with increased inflammatory activity, worsened lung function, and extent of skin involvement in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. In patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease treated with cyclophosphamide, baseline Hsp90 levels can predict changes in DLCO over 12 months of therapy.

Expasy, the Swiss Bioinformatics Resource Portal, as designed by its users

Severine Duvaud et al.

Summary: The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics offers a range of bioinformatics services and resources through Expasy, supporting a wide range of research areas. The redesign of Expasy in 2020 with a user-centric approach aimed to create an easy-to-use interface and provide accurate descriptions of high-quality resources. This User-Centred Design (UCD) approach, widely used in other fields, is still relatively unexplored in bioinformatics.
