Diffusion tensor imaging in anisotropic tissues: application of reduced gradient vector schemes in peripheral nerves
CONCLUSIONS: In peripheral nerves, bulk tissue DTI metrics can be approximated with only three predefined gradient vectors along the scanner's main axes, yielding similar diagnostic accuracy as a 20-vector DTI, resulting in substantial scan time reduction.RELEVANCE STATEMENT: DTI bulk tissue parameters of peripheral nerves can be calculated with only three predefined gradient vectors at similar diagnostic performance as a standard DTI but providing a substantial scan time reduction.KEY POINTS: • In peripheral nerves, DTI parameters can be approximated using only three gradient vectors. • The simplified model achieves a...

G-K BertDTA: A graph representation learning and semantic embedding-based framework for drug-target affinity prediction
Comput Biol Med. 2024 Mar 25;173:108376. doi: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2024.108376. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDeveloping new drugs is costly, time-consuming, and risky. Drug-target affinity (DTA), indicating the binding capability between drugs and target proteins, is a crucial indicator for drug development. Accurately predicting interaction strength between new drug-target pairs by analyzing previous experiments aids in screening potential drug molecules, repurposing them, and developing safe and effective medicines. Existing computational models for DTA prediction rely on strings or single-graph neural networks, lacking...

A phase I study of docetaxel plus synthetic lycopene in metastatic prostate cancer patients
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of docetaxel/ADT and synthetic lycopene has low toxicity and favourable pharmacokinetics. The effects of lycopene on biomarkers provide additional support for the toxicity-dependent MTD definition.HIGHLIGHTS: The maximum tolerated dose was identified as 150 mg/day of lycopene in combination with docetaxel/ADT for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer patients. Small increases in plasma exposure to docetaxel were observed with lycopene co-administration. Mechanistically significant effects were seen on angiogenesis and insulin-like growth factor 1 signalling by lycopene co-administration w...
