Abstract:Modeling complex biological systems is necessary to understand biochemical interactions behind pharmacological effects of drugs. Successful in silico drug repurposing requires a thorough exploration of diverse biochemical concepts and their relationships, including drug's adverse reactions, drug targets, disease symptoms, as well as disease associated genes and their pathways, to name a few. We present a computational method for inferring drug-disease associations from complex but incomplete and biased biologi… Show more
Drug repositioning, a method that relies on the information from the original drug-disease association matrix, aims to identify new indications for existing drugs and will greatly reduce the cost and...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
