Abstract
Interest in synthetic immunogenic peptides is increasingly growing due to the continuous achievements in the understanding of the molecular basis of the immune response. Moreover, the use of peptide fragments to generate antibodies capable of recognizing and neutralizing viral particles could be a valuable alternative to conventional vaccines they are safe, they can be designed to induce defined immune responses and they can be synthesised in large quantities in high purity. However,their relatively low immunogenicity requires the development of effective adjuvants and or their incorporation into controlled release formulations. Several different strategies have been used for the induction and analysis of protective immune responses induced by short peptides against infectious diseases. In the present article we summarise the different approaches used to potentiate the immune response induced by a continuous epitope of hepatitis A virus co-linear link of T-cell epitopes in different orientati ons, incorporation into liposomes, and preparation of homogeneous and heterogeneous Multiple Antigenic Peptides.

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
