Abstract
Crypteins, the hidden bioactive sequences, play an important role in the modulation of various biological processes, such as neuronal signaling, angiogenesis, immune response, inflammatory response and cell growth. Proteolytic mechanism leading to the release of crypteins possessing novel biological activities is an important factor for increasing diversity of functional molecules and represents a potential new source of peptide drugs. In this work we would like to focus on crypteins derived from the already known precursors and their potential therapeutic value.
Keywords: Crypteins, peptides, neuropeptide precursors.

Artificial Intelligence for Protein Research
Protein research, essential for understanding biological processes and creating therapeutics, faces challenges due to the intricate nature of protein structures and functions. Traditional methods are limited in exploring the vast protein sequence space efficiently. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer promising solutions by improving predictions and speeding up ...read more
Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
