Abstract

MOTIVATION: The rational modelling of the relationship among drugs, targets and diseases is crucial for drug retargeting. While significant progress has been made in studying binary relationships, further research is needed to deepen our understanding of ternary relationships. The application of graph neural networks in drug retargeting is increasing, but further research is needed to determine the appropriate modelling method for ternary relationships and how to capture their complex multi-feature structure.
