Machine learning and deep learning approaches for enhanced prediction of hERG blockade: a comprehensive QSAR modeling study.

Background: Cardiotoxicity is a major cause of drug withdrawal. The hERG channel, regulating ion flow, is pivotal for heart and nervous system function. Its blockade is a concern in drug development.

Machine learning and deep learning for brain tumor MRI image segmentation.

Brain tumors are often fatal. Therefore, accurate brain tumor image segmentation is critical for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients with these tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a commonly used imaging technique for capturing brain images.

Review of machine learning and deep learning models for toxicity prediction.

The ever-increasing number of chemicals has raised public concerns due to their adverse effects on human health and the environment. To protect public health and the environment, it is critical to assess the toxicity of these chemicals. Traditional and toxicity assays are complicated, costly, and time-consuming and may face ethical issues.

Developing a SARS-CoV-2 main protease binding prediction random forest model for drug repurposing for COVID-19 treatment.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic resulted in millions of people becoming infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and close to seven million deaths worldwide. It is essential to further explore and design effective COVID-19 treatment drugs that target the main protease of SARS-CoV-2, a major target for COVID-19 drugs. In this study, machine learning was applied for predicting the SARS-CoV-2 main protease binding of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs to assist in the identification of potential repurposing candidates for COVID-19 treatment.
