Abstract

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a prevalent disease for the aged population. Chinese herbderived natural compounds have anti-osteoporosis effects. Due to the complexity of chemical ingredients and natural products, it is necessary to develop a high-throughput approach with the integration of cheminformatics and deep-learning methods to explore their mechanistic action, especially herb/drug-gene interaction networks.
