NeuTox 2.0: A hybrid deep learning architecture for screening potential neurotoxicity of chemicals based on multimodal feature fusion.

Chemically induced neurotoxicity is a critical aspect of chemical safety assessment. Traditional and costly experimental methods call for the development of high-throughput virtual screening. However, the small datasets of neurotoxicity have limited the application of advanced deep learning techniques.

Molecular designing of potential environmentally friendly PFAS based on deep learning and generative models.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used across a spectrum of industrial and consumer goods. Nonetheless, their persistent nature and tendency to accumulate in biological systems pose substantial environmental and health threats. Consequently, striking a balance between maximizing product efficiency and minimizing environmental and health risks by tailoring the molecular structure of PFAS has become a pivotal challenge in the fields of environmental chemistry and sustainable development.

Screening of the Antagonistic Activity of Potential Bisphenol A Alternatives toward the Androgen Receptor Using Machine Learning and Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Over the past few decades, extensive research has indicated that exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) increases the health risks in humans. Toxicological studies have demonstrated that BPA can bind to the androgen receptor (AR), resulting in endocrine-disrupting effects. In recent investigations, many alternatives to BPA have been detected in various environmental media as major pollutants.
