BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that is marked by the deficit of neurons in the midbrain that changes motor and cognitive function. In the substantia nigra, the selective demise of dopamine-producing neurons was the ma...
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is a major health concern worldwide. The present study is aimed at discovering effective biomarkers for an efficient diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
BACKGROUND: The investigation of possible interactions between two proteins in intracellular signaling is an expensive and laborious procedure in the wet-lab, therefore, several in silico approaches have been implemented to narrow down the candidates...

The majority of clinical trials fail due to low efficacy of investigated drugs, often resulting from a poor choice of target protein. Existing computational approaches aim to support target selection either via genetic evidence or by putting potentia...
Biological systems are composed of a vast web of multiscale molecular interactors and interactions. High-throughput technologies, both bulk and single cell, now allow for investigation of the properties and quantities of these interactors. Computatio...
Characterization of protein complexes, i.e. sets of proteins assembling into a single larger physical entity, is important, as such assemblies play many essential roles in cells such as gene regulation. From networks of protein-protein interactions, ...
Protein-protein interactions play critical roles in biology, but the structures of many eukaryotic protein complexes are unknown, and there are likely many interactions not yet identified. We take advantage of advances in proteome-wide amino acid coe...
