DCDB 2.0: a major update of the drug combination database

Yu Liu, Qichun Wei, Guocan Yu et al. · 2014 · Database

Experience in clinical practice and research in systems pharmacology suggested the limitations of the current one-drug-one-target paradigm in new drug discovery. Single-target drugs may not always produce desired physiological effects on the entire biological system, even if they have successfully regulated the activities of their designated targets. On the other hand, multicomponent therapy, in which two or more agents simultaneously interact with multiple targets, has attracted growing attention. Many drug combinations consisting of multiple agents have already entered clinical practice, esp

Data visualization for inference in tomographic brain imaging

Cyril Pernet, Christopher R. Madan · 2019 · European Journal of Neuroscience

Tomographic imaging (i.e. magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], positron emission tomography [PET], X-ray computed tomography [CT]) offers a unique window in understanding structure-function relationships in the living brain. Nowadays, it is standard practice to acquire entire brain volumes and perform statistical analyses at each voxel, an approach known as statistical parametric mapping (Friston, Frith, Liddle, & Frackowiak, 1991). Because it is impossible to report the statistical results in every voxel, summary tables and figures are of importance. The choice made by authors to create such fig

Causes and Outcomes of Admission and Investigation of Tuberculosis in Adults with Advanced HIV in South African Hospitals: Data from the TB Fast Track Trial

Peter Beckwith, Mpho Tlali, Salome Charalambous et al. · 2021 · American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of hospitalization and in-hospital mortality in HIV-positive adults. Using data from hospital and clinic files, research databases, and autopsy, we describe causes and outcomes of admissions, and…

Integrating systemic toxicity and toxicokinetic data to inform the need for subchronic dog studies in human health safety assessments of agrochemicals.

Murphy L, Mingoia R, Bianchi E et al. · 2026 · Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP

Regulatory testing for agrochemicals has traditionally included a 90-day toxicity study in a non-rodent species, usually the dog. With growing emphasis on the 3Rs-replacement, reduction, and refinement of animal use-and increased adoption…

Stabilization of Transport Properties in Thin Nonstoichiometric La<sub>1-x</sub>Sr<sub>x</sub>Mn<sub>y</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Films via Accelerated Aging for Magnetic Field Sensors.

Rudokas V, Koliada M, Stankevic V et al. · 2026 · Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)

Magnetic sensors based on the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect in manganite thin films are promising for high-field measurements due to their wide operating range, low magnetoresistance anisotropy, and ability to function without…

The unsung hero: <i>ntnh</i> gene as complementary botulism marker.

Valdezate S, Valiente M, Díaz-Ramón S et al. · 2026 · Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology

Botulism is a rare but severe neurological disease caused by botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). Standard diagnostic methods including the mouse bioassay (SMB) and bont gene type-specific PCR, are often limited by the high genetic diversity…

Free light chain EQA: Analytical variability with clinical consequences - Data from 25 Italian EQA exercises (2021-2025).

Pasotti F, Da Molin S, Bosoni T et al. · 2026 · Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry

Serum free light chains (FLC) κ and λ, and the κ/λ ratio, are key biomarkers for the diagnosis, risk stratification and monitoring of monoclonal gammopathies. However, substantial between-method variability still limits harmonised…
