Predicting potential treatments for complex diseases based on miRNA and tissue specificity [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Drug repositioning, that is finding new uses for existing drugs to treat more patients. Cumulative studies demonstrate that the mature miRNAs as well as their precursors can be targeted by small molecular drugs. At the same time, human diseases result from the disordered interplay of tissue- and cell lineage-specific processes.

Sparse multi-view matrix factorisation: a multivariate approach to multiple tissue comparisons [PDF]

, 2015
Gene expression levels in a population vary extensively across tissues. Such heterogeneity is caused by genetic variability and environmental factors, and is expected to be linked to disease development. The abundance of experimental data now enables the identification of features of gene expression profiles that are shared across tissues, and those ...

Addressing persistent challenges in digital image analysis of cancer tissue: resources developed from a hackathon

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Large multidimensional digital images of cancer tissue are becoming prolific, but many challenges exist to automatically extract relevant information from them using computational tools. We describe publicly available resources that have been developed jointly by expert and non‐expert computational biologists working together during a virtual hackathon

Distribution of HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Patients With Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Their Association With Antiphospholipid Antibodies Presence and Damage Indexes

Journal of Immunology Research
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is frequently coexisting with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the knowledge on its genetic background is essential. The objective of this work was to assess distribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles

Shared features of endothelial dysfunction between sepsis and its preceding risk factors (aging and chronic disease) [PDF]

, 2018
Acute vascular endothelial dysfunction is a central event in the pathogenesis of sepsis,increasing vascular permeability, promoting activation of the coagulation cascade, tissue edema and compromising perfusion of vital organs. Aging and chronic diseases(hypertension,dyslipidaemia,diabetes mellitus,chronic kidney disease,cardiovascular disease ...

Targeted metabolomics reveals novel diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study employed targeted metabolomic profiling to identify 302 distinct metabolites present in platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), revealing aberrant metabolic profiles amongst individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 19‐9 (CA199), our metabolite panel showed improved sensitivity ...
