Computational and systems biology of cancer [PDF]
Ever since the war on cancer was declared in 1971, there has been an explosion in our understanding of this diverse group of diseases. The application of molecular genetics and molecular biology technologies have enabled a deep understanding of the genetic, epigenetic, signaling cascades, survival pathways, and invasive mechanisms that underlie the ...

Cyclin-dependent kinases as drug targets for cell growth and proliferation disorders. A role for systems biology approach in drug development. Part II - CDKs as drug targets in hypertrophic cell growth. Modelling of drugs targeting CDKs [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell growth and proliferation. Impaired regulation of their activity leads to various diseases such as cancer and heart hypertrophy.

A signaling visualization toolkit to support rational design of combination therapies and biomarker discovery: SiViT [PDF]
Targeted cancer therapy aims to disrupt aberrant cellular signalling pathways. Biomarkers are surrogates of pathway state, but there is limited success in translating candidate biomarkers to clinical practice due to the intrinsic complexity of pathway ...

Systems Biology of Gastric Cancer: Perspectives on the Omics-Based Diagnosis and Treatment
Gastric cancer is the fifth most diagnosed cancer in the world, affecting more than a million people and causing nearly 783,000 deaths each year. The prognosis of advanced gastric cancer remains extremely poor despite the use of surgery and adjuvant ...

The Interplay among PINK1/PARKIN/Dj-1 Network during Mitochondrial Quality Control in Cancer Biology: Protein Interaction Analysis [PDF]
PARKIN (E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK2), PINK1 (PTEN induced kinase 1) and DJ-1 (PARK7) are proteins involved in autosomal recessive parkinsonism, and carcinogenic processes.
