Clustering cliques for graph-based summarization of the biomedical research literature [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Graph-based notions are increasingly used in biomedical data mining and knowledge discovery tasks. In this paper, we present a clique-clustering method to automatically summarize graphs of semantic predications produced from PubMed citations (

ABSTRACT Background Statins are cholesterol‐lowering drugs widely prescribed for preventing cardiovascular diseases. They may cause adverse effects on skeletal muscle, but it remains unclear whether they affect muscle function and mass. We aimed to evaluate the association between statin use and muscle function and mass, and whether the pharmacogenomic

An unexpected link between fatty acid synthase and cholesterol synthesis in proinflammatory macrophage activation [PDF]
Different immune activation states require distinct metabolic features and activities in immune cells. For instance, inhibition of fatty acid synthase (FASN), which catalyzes the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids, prevents the proinflammatory response ...
