Toward Predicting Impact of Common Genetic Variants on Schizophrenia Clinical Responses With Antipsychotics: A Quantitative System Pharmacology Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
CNS disorders are lagging behind other indications in implementing genotype-dependent treatment algorithms for personalized medicine. This report uses a biophysically realistic computer model of an associative and dorsal motor cortico-striatal-thalamo ...

Impact of amyloid-beta changes on cognitive outcomes in Alzheimer’s disease: analysis of clinical trials using a quantitative systems pharmacology model

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2018
Background Despite a tremendous amount of information on the role of amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), almost all clinical trials testing this hypothesis have failed to generate clinically relevant cognitive effects.

lazar: A modular predictive toxicology framework

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
lazar (lazy structure-activity relationships) is a modular framework for predictive toxicology. Similar to the read across procedure in toxicological risk assessment, lazar creates local QSAR models for each compound to be predicted. Model developers can

A STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPING NEW TREATMENT PARADIGMS FOR NEUROPSYCHIATRIC AND NEUROCOGNITIVE SYMPTOMS IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Successful disease-modifying drug development for Alzheimer’s disease has hit a roadblock with the recent failures of amyloid-based therapies, highlighting the translational disconnect between preclinical animal models and clinical outcome.

Comparison of anterior column reconstruction techniques after en bloc spondylectomy: a finite element study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) effectively treats spinal tumors. The surgery requires a vertebral body replacement (VBR), for which several solutions were developed, whereas the biomechanical differences between these devices still need to be ...

A HUMANIZED CLINICALLY CALIBRATED QUANTITATIVE SYSTEMS PHARMACOLOGY MODEL FOR HYPOKINETIC MOTOR SYMPTOMS IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
The current treatment of Parkinson’s disease with dopamine-centric approaches such as L-DOPA and dopamine agonists, although very succesfull, is in need of alternative treatment strategies, both in terms of disease modification and symptom management ...

Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia: Exploring Glutamatergic Modulation Using a Computer-Based Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
Although many antipsychotics can reasonably control positive symptoms in schizophrenia, patients’ return to society is often hindered by negative symptoms and cognitive deficits.

Assessing the synergy between cholinomimetics and memantine as augmentation therapy in Cognitive Impairment in Schizophrenia. A virtual human patient trial using Quantitative Systems Pharmacology

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
While many drug discovery research programs aim to develop highly selective clinical candidates, their clinical success is limited because of the complex non-linear interactions of human brain neuronal circuits.
