Abstract The propensity of poorly water-soluble drugs to aggregate at supersaturation impedes their bioavailability. Supersaturated amorphous drug-salt-polymer systems provide an emergent approach tor systems provide an emergent approach to this problem. However, the effects of polymers on drug-drug interactions in aqueous phase are largely unexplored and it is unclear how to choose an optimal salt-polymer combination for a particular drug. Here, we describe a comparative experimental and computational characterization of amorphous solid dispersions containing the drug celecoxib, and a polymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate (PVP-VA) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate, with or without Na + /K + salts. Classical models for drug-polymer interactions fail to identify the best drug-salt-polymer combination. In contrast, more stable drug-polymer interaction energies computed from molecular dynamics simulations correlate with prolonged stability of supersaturated amorphous drug-salt-polymer systems, along with better dissolution and pharmacokinetic profiles. The celecoxib-salt-PVP-VA formulations exhibit excellent biopharmaceutical performance, offering the prospect of a low-dosage regimen for this widely used anti-inflammatory, thereby increasing cost-effectiveness, and reducing side-effects.

The performance of metal–organic and covalent organic framework materials in sought-after applications—capture, storage, and delivery of gases and molecules, and separation of their mixtures—heavilyxtures—heavily depends on the host–guest interactions established inside the pores of these materials. Computational modeling provides information about the structures of these host–guest complexes and the strength and nature of the interactions present at a level of detail and precision that is often unobtainable from experiment. In this Review, we summarize the key simulation techniques spanning from molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods to correlate ab initio approaches and energy, density, and wavefunction partitioning schemes. We provide illustrative literature examples of their uses in analyzing and designing organic framework hosts. We also describe modern approaches to the high-throughput screening of thousands of existing and hypothetical metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and emerging machine learning techniques for predicting their properties and performances. Finally, we discuss the key methodological challenges on the path toward computation-driven design and reliable prediction of high-performing MOF and COF adsorbents and catalysts and suggest possible solutions and future directions in this exciting field of computational materials science.

Abstract The recognition of dominantly inherited micro-satellite instable (MSI) cancers caused by pathogenic variants in one of the four mismatch repair ( MMR ) genes MSH2, MLH1, MSH6 and PMS2 has MMR ) genes MSH2, MLH1, MSH6 and PMS2 has modified our understanding of carcinogenesis. Inherited loss of function variants in each of these MMR genes cause four dominantly inherited cancer syndromes with different penetrance and expressivities: the four Lynch syndromes. No person has an “average sex “or a pathogenic variant in an “average Lynch syndrome gene” and results that are not stratified by gene and sex will be valid for no one. Carcinogenesis may be a linear process from increased cellular division to localized cancer to metastasis. In addition, in the Lynch syndromes (LS) we now recognize a dynamic balance between two stochastic processes: MSI producing abnormal cells, and the host’s adaptive immune system’s ability to remove them. The latter may explain why colonoscopy surveillance does not reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer in LS, while it may improve the prognosis. Most early onset colon, endometrial and ovarian cancers in LS are now cured and most cancer related deaths are after subsequent cancers in other organs. Aspirin reduces the incidence of colorectal and other cancers in LS. Immunotherapy increases the host immune system’s capability to destroy MSI cancers. Colonoscopy surveillance, aspirin prevention and immunotherapy represent major steps forward in personalized precision medicine to prevent and cure inherited MSI cancer.

ABSTRACT Globular clusters (GCs) are powerful tracers of the galaxy assembly process, and have already been used to obtain a detailed picture of the progenitors of the Milky Way (MW). Using the E-MOSAICS (MW). Using the E-MOSAICS cosmological simulation of a (34.4 Mpc)3 volume that follows the formation and co-evolution of galaxies and their star cluster populations, we develop a method to link the origin of GCs to their observable properties. We capture this complex link using a supervised deep learning algorithm trained on the simulations, and predict the origin of individual GCs (whether they formed in the main progenitor or were accreted from satellites) based solely on extragalactic observables. An artificial neural network classifier trained on ∼50 000 GCs hosted by ∼700 simulated galaxies successfully predicts the origin of GCs in the test set with a mean accuracy of 89 per cent for the objects with $\rm [Fe/H]\lt -0.5$ that have unambiguous classifications. The network relies mostly on the alpha-element abundances, metallicities, projected positions, and projected angular momenta of the clusters to predict their origin. A real-world test using the known progenitor associations of the MW GCs achieves up to 90 per cent accuracy, and successfully identifies as accreted most of the GCs in the inner Galaxy associated to the Kraken progenitor, as well as all the Gaia-Enceladus GCs. We demonstrate that the model is robust to observational uncertainties, and develop a method to predict the classification accuracy across observed galaxies. The classifier can be optimized for available observables (e.g. to improve the accuracy by including GC ages), making it a valuable tool to reconstruct the assembly histories of galaxies in upcoming wide-field surveys.
