Show HN: A peptide design tool for cancer vaccine Dear HNers, I have coded a tool that hopefully could help oncologists to design a peptide vaccine for personalized medicine. https://ift.tt/3dxXnkF Some peptides are specific to cancers. A peptide vaccine is a way to train our body to eradicate the cells that harbor these peptides on their outer membrane. Peptide vaccines are notoriously ineffective but safe, so they could be a second line of defense against cancer after traditional drugs and therapies. A tumor develops many mutations, over time. So there is no standard medical answer. A peptide vaccine will therefore be composed of a set of peptides, which may vary over time. Because peptide vaccines can be designed very quickly, they can help respond as soon as drug resistance develops. Peptide vaccines could be a way for oncologists to distinguish themselves from their colleagues in practice, and allow them to express their know-how. This service uses its own MHC prediction service in PHP (derived from PSSMHCpan). So it is faster than NetMHCPan, but alas, it is currently hosted on a cheap VPS so it cannot take much load. I wonder if you could suggest some business model for this kind of tool? Thanks! April 4, 2021 at 03:13AM
Show HN: Moderator,lightweight peer4peer anon forum hello all! here's a link to my little pinteresting like forum that stores no data on the server and uses IPFS for image storage. The design aesthetic is that everything would in 64kb of memory so we're going for a collapse-proof low bandwidth experience. this makes moderator really fast. https://moderator.rocks is the web preview, a flutter client is in the works at https://ift.tt/32wqdRb take a look, post something fun, ask questions. I'm also on twitter @moderatorium in case interested. Have fun! January 26, 2022 at 12:23AM
