Objectives/Goals: Neurodegenerative diseases involve progressive neuronal loss or dysfunction, often due to accumulated damage and impaired repair mechanisms. Our research evaluates the role of innate immune recognition proteins to provide insights into age-related neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Methods/Study Population: We will utilize transcriptomic data from the Long-Life Family Study (LLFS), a cohort rich in genetic and phenotypic data related to aging and longevity. Our approach includes assessing a set of innate immune recognition proteins, also known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) expression across various age groups, focusing on potential correlations with cognitive performance. By analyzing serum transcriptomic profiles, we aim to map changes in expression and DNA repair genes over time, evaluating their connection to cognitive health and neurodegeneration in aging populations. Results/Anticipated Results: We anticipate that the expression of some PRRs will increase with age and correlate with cognitive decline, suggesting a role in age-related neurodegeneration. We also expect a decrease in DNA repair pathway gene expression in older age groups, contrasting with an increase in genes involved in endogenous DNA detection. These results will reveal how PRRs may function as neuroprotective factors and how their expression changes may relate to the decline in DNA repair processes with age, providing a better understanding of innate immune recognition in cognitive health. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This study will reveal the role of PRRs in aging and neurodegeneration, potentially establishing them as a key player in neuronal protection. Findings may guide future research into therapeutic strategies targeting them for Alzheimer’s and other age-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Allysine is a pivotal protein post-translational modification that regulates protein interaction and activities. It is also recognized as a marker of oxidative stress under certain metabolic and physiological conditions. In this study, we developed a capture-and-release chemical proteomics workflow with heavy isotopic labeling that enables system-wide enrichment and site-specific identification of allysine as well as other carbonylated peptides, such as peptides containing glutamic semialdehyde derived from the oxidative damage of arginine and proline, with high confidence. The streamlined workflow led to the identification of 434 allysine sites on 349 proteins in human 293T and HCT116 cells and 317 allysine sites on 157 proteins in mouse muscle tissues without any treatment with an oxidative stress-inducing chemical reagent. We identified 48 histone allysine sites, including 38 sites on core histones in human 293T cells, many of which overlapped with well-characterized histone acetylation and methylation epigenetic marks. Bioinformatic analysis revealed notable characteristics of the amino acid preferences of allysine flanking sequences and the significant depletion of allysine sites in the protein secondary structure in cultured human cells. Pathway analysis showed that allysine substrates were involved in diverse cellular processes including translation, protein folding, and RNA processing in human cells and were enriched with muscle contractile fiber proteins and metabolic enzymes in mouse muscle tissue. Thus, our integrated chemical proteomics analysis revealed the structural and functional features of allysine targets under regular growth conditions in cultured human cells and mouse tissues. © 2025 American Chemical Society.

Humanized mice, which carry a human hematopoietic and immune system, have greatly advanced our understanding of human immune responses and immunological diseases. These mice are created via the transplantation of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells into immunocompromised murine hosts further engineered to support human hematopoiesis and immune cell growth. This article explores genetic modifications in mice that enhance xeno-tolerance, promote human hematopoiesis and immunity, and enable xenotransplantation of human tissues with resident immune cells. We also discuss genetic editing of the human immune system, provide examples of how humanized mice with humanized organs model diseases for mechanistic studies, and highlight the roles of these models in advancing knowledge of organ biology, immune responses to pathogens, and preclinical drugs tested for cancer treatment. The integration of multi-omics and state-of-the art approaches with humanized mouse models is crucial for bridging existing human data with causality and promises to significantly advance mechanistic studies.

Sequence-to-function models can predict gene expression from sequence data and be used to link genetic information with transcriptomics data to understand regulatory processes and their effects on complex phenotypes. The genomic language models are pre-trained with large-scale DNA sequences and can generate robust representations of these sequences by learning the genomic context. However, few studies can estimate the predictability of gene expression levels and bridge these two classes of models together to explore individualized gene expression prediction. In this manuscript, we propose UKBioBERT as a DNA language model pre-trained with genetic variants from UK BioBank. We demonstrate that UKBioBERT generates informative embeddings capable of identifying gene functions, and improving gene expression prediction in cell lines, thereby enhancing our understanding of gene expression predictability. Building upon these embeddings, we combine UKBioBERT with state-of-the-art sequence-to-function architectures, Enformer and Borzoi, to create UKBioFormer and UKBioZoi. These models exhibit better performance in predicting highly predictable gene expression levels and can be generalized across different cohorts. Furthermore, UKBioFormer effectively captures the relationship between genetic variants and expression variations, enabling in-silico mutation analyses. Collectively, our findings underscore the value of integrating genomic language models and sequence-to-function approaches for advancing functional genomics research. © 2025, The Authors.

Ralstonia solanacearum, the causative agent of bacterial wilt, poses a global threat to agriculture, necessitating urgent and sustainable solutions as traditional methods lose efficacy. This study developed WRF-13, a synthetic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) designed to mimic natural AMPs, exhibiting potent antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity with high specificity against R. solanacearum. Mechanistic studies, including microscopy and computational analyses, demonstrated that WRF-13 disrupts the bacterial membrane. WRF-13 remained stable across a wide pH (5–8) and temperature (25–50 °C) range, essential for field applications, and showed no detectable toxicity to mammalian or plant cells at elevated concentrations. Greenhouse trials confirmed its efficacy in reducing bacterial wilt severity up to 65 %, highlighting its potential to protect crops from R. solanacearum infection. Overall, this study highlights WRF-13 as a targeted solution for managing bacterial wilt and advancing sustainable agriculture. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

Flow matching in the continuous simplex has emerged as a promising strategy for DNA sequence design, but struggles to scale to higher simplex dimensions required for peptide and protein generation. We introduce Gumbel-Softmax Flow and Score Matching, a generative framework on the simplex based on a novel Gumbel-Softmax interpolant with a time-dependent temperature. Using this interpolant, we introduce Gumbel-Softmax Flow Matching by deriving a parameterized velocity field that transports from smooth categorical distributions to distributions concentrated at a single vertex of the simplex. We alternatively present Gumbel-Softmax Score Matching which learns to regress the gradient of the probability density. Our framework enables high-quality, diverse generation and scales efficiently to higher-dimensional simplices. To enable training-free guidance, we propose Straight-Through Guided Flows (STGFlow), a classifier-based guidance method that leverages straight-through estimators to steer the unconditional velocity field toward optimal vertices of the simplex. STGFlow enables efficient inference-time guidance using classifiers pre-trained on clean sequences, and can be used with any discrete flow method. Together, these components form a robust framework for controllable de novo sequence generation. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in conditional DNA promoter design, sequence-only protein generation, and target-binding peptide design for rare disease treatment. © 2025, CC BY-NC-ND.

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has become a prominent tool for studying human biology and disease. The availability of massive scRNA-seq datasets and advanced machine learning techniques has recently driven the development of single-cell foundation models that provide informative and versatile cell representations based on expression profiles. However, to understand disease states, we need to consider entire tissue ecosystems, simultaneously considering many different interacting cells. Here, we tackle this challenge by generating patient-level representations derived from multi-cellular expression context measured with scRNA-seq of tissues. We develop PaSCient, a novel model that employs a multi-level representation learning paradigm and provides importance scores at the individual cell and gene levels for fine-grained analysis across multiple cell types and gene programs characteristic of a given disease. We apply PaSCient to learn a disease model across a large-scale scRNA-seq atlas of 12.5 million cells from over 2,700 patients. Comprehensive and rigorous benchmarking demonstrates the superiority of PaSCient in disease classification and its multiple downstream applications, including dimensionality reduction, gene/cell type prioritization, and patient subgroup discovery. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

A major challenge in near-term quantum computing is its application to large real-world datasets due to scarce quantum hardware resources. One approach to enabling tractable quantum models for such datasets involves finding low-dimensional representations that preserve essential information for downstream analysis. In classical machine learning, variational autoencoders (VAEs) facilitate efficient data compression, representation learning for subsequent tasks, and novel data generation. However, no quantum model has been proposed that exactly captures all of these features for direct application to quantum data on quantum computers. Some existing quantum models for data compression lack regularization of latent representations, thus preventing direct use for generation and control of generalization. Others are hybrid models with only some internal quantum components, impeding direct training on quantum data. To address this, we present a fully quantum framework, ζ-QVAE, which encompasses all the capabilities of classical VAEs and can be directly applied to map both classical and quantum data to a lower-dimensional space, while effectively reconstructing much of the original state from it. Our model utilizes regularized mixed states to attain optimal latent representations. It accommodates various divergences for reconstruction and regularization. Furthermore, by accommodating mixed states at every stage, it can utilize the full data density matrix and allow for a training objective defined on probabilistic mixtures of input data. Doing so, in turn, makes efficient optimization possible and has potential implications for private and federated learning. In addition to exploring the theoretical properties of ζ-QVAE, we demonstrate its performance on representative genomics and synthetic data. Our results indicate that ζ-QVAE consistently learns representations that better utilize the capacity of the latent space and exhibits similar or better performance compared with
