As a group of complex neurodevelopmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been reported to have a high overall prevalence, showing an unprecedented spurt since 2000. Due to the unclear pathomechanism of ASD, it is challenging to diagnose...
Toxicology in vitro : an international journal published in association with BIBRA
Aug 1, 2021
Most computational predictive models are specifically trained for a single toxicity endpoint and lack the ability to learn dependencies between endpoints, such as those targeting similar biological pathways. In this study, we compare the performance ...
