Protein kinases become an important source of potential drug targets. Developing new, efficient, and safe small-molecule kinase inhibitors has become an important topic in the field of drug research and development. In contrast with traditional wet experiments which are time-consuming and expensive, machine learning-based approaches for predicting small molecule inhibitors for protein kinases are time-saving and cost-effective, which are highly desired for us.

Epigenetic modulators play an increasingly crucial role in the treatment of various diseases. In this case, it is imperative to systematically investigate the activity of these agents and understand their influence on the entire epigenetic regulatory network rather than solely concentrate on individual targets. This work introduces MT-EpiPred, a multitask learning method capable of predicting the activity of compounds against 78 epigenetic targets.

Article Synopsis
  • Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) is a key procedure for diagnosing pancreatic cancer, especially due to its effectiveness and low risk of complications.
  • Researchers aimed to create a convolutional neural network (CNN) using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to enhance the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer from cytology samples.
  • The developed model showed high accuracy (92.04%) and excellent sensitivity and specificity in differentiating pancreatic adenocarcinoma from benign tissues, emphasizing its potential value as a diagnostic tool for cytopathologists.
