Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

A directed weighted network-based method for drug combinations identification using drug-target and inter-target regulation

BMC Bioinformatics
Background Drug combination is currently a promising solution in treating complex diseases due to its reducing toxicity and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. However, the accurate identification of drug combination effects remains challenging.

Drug-Target Interaction Prediction with PIGLET

Abstract Drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction is a key task for computed-aided drug development that has been widely approached by deep learning models. Despite extremely high reported performance, these models have yet to find widespread success in accelerating real-world drug discovery. In contrast with the most common approach of

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Meta-Path-Based Probabilistic Soft Logic for Drug–Target Interaction Predictions

Mathematics
Drug–target interaction (DTI) predictions, which aim to predict whether a drug will be bounded to a target, have received wide attention recently. The goal is to automate and accelerate the costly process of drug design.

SuperTarget goes quantitative: update on drug-target interactions

Nucleic Acids Research, 2011
There are at least two good reasons for the on-going interest in drug-target interactions: first, drug-effects can only be fully understood by considering a complex network of interactions to multiple targets (so-called off-target effects) including metabolic and signaling pathways; second, it is crucial to consider drug-target-pathway relations for ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.
