Latest AI and machine learning research in liver transplantation for healthcare professionals.
The interaction of virus proteins with host proteins plays a key role in viral infection and consequent pathogenesis. Many computational methods have been proposed to predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs), but most of the computational methods are intended for PPIs within a species rather than PPIs across different species such as virus-host PPIs. We developed a method that represents key fe...
Tacrolimus is a potent immunosuppressant; however, it suffers from several problems such as poor water solubility (4-12 μg/mL), low and variable oral bioavailability in patients, and narrow therapeutic window that could not be solved by the currently available formulation (Prograf®). Moreover, Prograf® contains HCO-60 (PEGylated castor oil) as a surfactant, which is reported to cause several side...
