Reciprocal perspective as a super learner improves drug-target interaction prediction (MUSDTI).

The identification of novel drug-target interactions (DTI) is critical to drug discovery and drug repurposing to address contemporary medical and public health challenges presented by emergent diseases. Historically, computational methods have framed DTI prediction as a binary classification problem (indicating whether or not a drug physically interacts with a given protein target); however, framing the problem instead as a regression-based prediction of the physiochemical binding affinity is more meaningful. With growing databases of experimentally derived drug-target interactions (e.

Intraperitoneal injection of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), a lipid peroxidation product, exacerbates colonic inflammation through activation of Toll-like receptor 4 signaling.

Human and animal studies have shown that the colonic concentrations of lipid peroxidation products, such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), are elevated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the actions and mechanisms of these compounds on the development of IBD are unknown. Here, we show that a systemic treatment of low-dose 4-HNE exacerbates dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced IBD in C57BL/6 mice, suggesting its pro-IBD actions in vivo.
