Protocol for stratification of triple-negative breast cancer patients using signaling dynamics.

Personalized kinetic models can predict potential biomarkers and drug targets. Here, we provide a step-by-step approach for building an executable mathematical model from text and integrating transcriptomic datasets. We additionally describe the steps to personalize the mechanistic model and to stratify patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) based on signaling dynamics.

A text-based computational framework for patient -specific modeling for classification of cancers.

Patient heterogeneity precludes cancer treatment and drug development; hence, development of methods for finding prognostic markers for individual treatment is urgently required. Here, we present Pasmopy (Patient-Specific Modeling in Python), a computational framework for stratification of patients using signaling dynamics. Pasmopy converts texts and sentences on biochemical systems into an executable mathematical model.

Building patient-specific models for receptor tyrosine kinase signaling networks.

Cancer progresses due to changes in the dynamic interactions of multidimensional factors associated with gene mutations. Cancer research has actively adopted computational methods, including data-driven and mathematical model-driven approaches, to identify causative factors and regulatory rules that can explain the complexity and diversity of cancers. A data-driven, statistics-based approach revealed correlations between gene alterations and clinical outcomes in many types of cancers.
