An eight-gene riskscore model and computational evaluation of the PDGFRB-imatinib interaction in HBV-positive hepatocellular carcinoma

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes persistent liver injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocarcinogenesis. Because hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) of different etiologies have distinct...

Integrated In-Silico Investigation of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine Scaffolds as Novel PIM-1 Kinase Inhibitor

To identify the key structural and pharmacophoric features required for PIM-1 kinase inhibition with discovery of new PIM-1 kinase inhibitors based on pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffolds by a combined...

Computational assessment of a predicted linarin-TNF interaction relevant to inflammation-associated oxidative stress: Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations

Oxidative stress contributes to the progression of many chronic disorders, yet the direct molecular targets of natural antioxidants remain insufficiently defined....

Mechanism of cinobufagin in regulating pain-associated mediators in hepatocellular carcinoma based on network pharmacology and machine learning

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, and advanced patients often suffer from cancer pain associated with inflammatory and nociceptive factors. Cinobufagin, a steroid...

In silico studies into the therapeutic potential of organophosphorus compounds against Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia in the elderly and is characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function. Therapeutic strategies for AD have largely been guided...

Zexieyin formula ameliorates hyperlipidemia by modulating lipid metabolism via the proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src signaling
