Molecular imaging enables the visualization and quantitative analysis of the alterations of biological procedures at molecular and/or cellular level, which is of great significance for early detection of cancer. In recent years, deep leaning has been widely used in medical imaging analysis, as it overcomes the limitations of visual assessment and traditional machine learning techniques by extracting hierarchical features with powerful representation capability. Research on cancer molecular images using deep learning techniques is also increasing dynamically. Hence, in this paper, we review the applications of deep learning in molecular imaging in terms of tumor lesion segmentation, tumor classification, and survival prediction. We also outline some future directions in which researchers may develop more powerful deep learning models for better performance in the applications in cancer molecular imaging.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play vital roles in various physiological processes, making them attractive drug discovery targets. Meanwhile, deep learning techniques have revolutionized drug discovery by facilitating efficient tools for expediting the identification and optimization of ligands. However, existing models for the GPCRs often focus on single-target or a small subset of GPCRs or employ binary classification, constraining their applicability for high throughput virtual screening.
