Unlabelled: Most proteins lack experimentally validated functions. To address this problem, we implemented the Evolutionary Trace Annotation (ETA) method in the Cytoscape network visualization environment. The result is the ETAscape plugin, which builds a structural genomics network based on local structural and evolutionary similarities among proteins and then globally diffuses known annotations across the resulting network. The plugin displays these novel functional annotations, their confidence, the molecular basis for individual matches and the set of matches that lead to a prediction.
Availability: The ETA Network Plugin is available publicly for download at http://mammoth.bcm.tmc.edu/networks/.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a common hypertensive disease in women with pregnancy. With the development of bioinformatics, WGCNA was used to explore specific biomarkers to provide therapy targets efficiently. All samples were obtained from gene expression omnibus (GEO), then we used a package named "WGCNA" to construct a scale-free co-expression network and modules related to PE.

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze and identify the main chemical components and blood-absorbed components of Xuantu Granules and predict their pharmacological substance basis and mechanism in the treatment of DKD.
Methods: A DKD rat model was established by feeding SD rats a high-fat and high-sugar diet and administering intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ). The therapeutic effect of Xuantu granules was evaluated.

Clinical observations indicate a pronounced exacerbation of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) in individuals grappling with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), suggesting an intricate interplay between these maladies. Pinpointing shared risk factors for both conditions has proven elusive. To address this, we pioneered a sophisticated bioinformatics framework and network-based strategy to unearth genes exhibiting aberrant expression patterns in both AUD and CVDs.

Article Synopsis
- Colorectal adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a significant cancer type, and this study investigates the role of wound healing-related genes in its progression to help improve diagnosis and treatment.
- Seventy wound healing-associated genes were identified, leading to the discovery of four key genes (MMP2, FN1, NF1, PTK7) that show overexpression in COAD, which may serve as potential diagnostic markers.
- These hub genes are linked to poor patient outcomes and tumor-promoting activities, with further implications for drug resistance and immune response in the context of COAD progression.
