Drug repurposing aims to find new uses for already existing and approved drugs. We now provide a brief overview of recent developments in drug repurposing using machine learning alongside other computational approaches for comparison. We also highlight several applications for cancer using kinase inhibitors, Alzheimer's disease as well as COVID-19.

Background: Psoriasis is a common chronic, recurrent, immune-mediated disease involved in the skin or joints or both. However, deeper insight into the genetic susceptibility of psoriasis is still unclear.
Methods: Here we performed the largest multi-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association study including 28,869 psoriasis cases and 443,950 healthy controls.

Understanding dysregulated genes and pathways in cancer is critical for precision oncology. Integrating mass spectrometry-based proteomic data with transcriptomic data presents unique opportunities for systematic analyses of dysregulated genes and pathways in pan-cancer. Here, we compiled a comprehensive set of datasets, encompassing proteomic data from 2,404 samples and transcriptomic data from 7,752 samples across 13 cancer types.

There is an urgent need for mechanistically novel and more efficacious treatments for schizophrenia, especially those targeting negative and cognitive symptoms with a more favorable side-effect profile. Drug repurposing-the process of identifying new therapeutic uses for already approved compounds-offers a promising approach to overcoming the lengthy, costly, and high-risk process of traditional CNS drug discovery. This review aims to update our previous findings on the clinical drug repurposing pipeline in schizophrenia.

Precision medicine aims to provide personalized therapies by analyzing patient molecular profiles, often focusing on gene expression data. However, effectively linking these data to actionable drug discovery for clinical application remains challenging. In this paper, we introduce ExPDrug, a neural network (NN) model that integrates biological pathways from transcriptomic data with a biomedical knowledge graph to facilitate pathway-based drug repurposing.

Background: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1, a matrix component of extracellular microfibrils. The main cause of morbidity and mortality in MFS is thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, but the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined.
Methods: To elucidate the role of endothelial XOR (xanthine oxidoreductase)-derived reactive oxygen species in aortic aneurysm progression, we inhibited in vivo function of XOR either by endothelial cell (EC)-specific disruption of the gene or by systemic administration of an XOR inhibitor febuxostat in MFS mice harboring the missense mutation p.
