The main objective is to offer a platform that discovers drug combinations from FDA-approved drugs and accelerates their investigations by domain scientists. Specifically, the paper introduced the following algorithms: (1) an algorithm for constructing the knowledge graph from drug, gene, and disease mentions in the biomedical literature; (2) an algorithm for vetting the knowledge graph from drug combinations that may pose a risk of drug interaction; (3) and two querying algorithms for searching the knowledge graph by a single drug or a combination of drugs. The resulting knowledge graph had 844 drugs, 306 gene\/protein features, and 19 disease mentions. The original number of drug combinations generated was 2,001. We queried the knowledge graph to eliminate noise generated from chemicals that are not drugs. This step resulted in 614 drug combinations. When vetting the knowledge graph to eliminate the potentially risky drug combinations, it resulted in predicting 200 combinations. Our domain expert manually eliminated extra 54 combinations which left only 146 combination candidates. Our three-layered knowledge graph, empowered by our algorithms, offered a tool that predicted drug combination therapeutics for scientists who can further investigate from the viewpoint of drug targets and side effects.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"50px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-ySoCXT\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/button {\"id\":\"block_65a8ede86c296\",\"name\":\"acf\/button\",\"data\":{\"title\":\"READ HERE\",\"_title\":\"field_61d40397c2f0a\",\"button_type\":\"link\",\"_button_type\":\"field_63bbde3b8f0d0\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/10029987\",\"_url\":\"field_61d4039bc2f0b\",\"button_style\":\"primary\",\"_button_style\":\"field_63872d045d0f0\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"_target\":\"field_63872c705d0ef\",\"button_extra_classes\":\"\",\"_button_extra_classes\":\"field_642beab6a97de\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->","post_title":"Mining Literature-Based Knowledge Graph for Predicting Combination Therapeutics: A COVID-19 Use Case","post_excerpt":"In: IEEE Xplore, 2023.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mining-literature-based-knowledge-graph-for-predicting-combination-therapeutics-a-covid-19-use-case","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-18 10:23:08","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-18 09:23:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/sano.science\/?post_type=research&#038;p=15035","menu_order":35,"post_type":"research","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15049,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2024-01-18 10:38:44","post_date_gmt":"2024-01-18 09:38:44","post_content":"<!-- wp:heading {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-RAzE0W\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Matthias Eisenmann,\u00a0Annika Reinke,\u00a0Vivienn Weru,\u00a0Minu Dietlinde Tizabi,\u00a0Fabian Isensee,\u00a0Tim J.

However, little attention has been given to investigating what can be learnt from these competitions. Do they really generate scientific progress? What are common and successful participation strategies? What makes a solution superior to a competing method? To address this gap in the literature, we performed a multi- center study with all 80 competitions that were conducted in the scope of IEEE ISBI 2021 and MICCAI 2021. Statistical analyses performed based on comprehensive descriptions of the submitted algorithms linked to their rank as well as the underlying participation strategies revealed common char- acteristics of winning solutions. These typically include the use of multi-task learning (63%) and\/or multi-stage pipelines (61%), and a focus on augmentation (100%), im- age preprocessing (97%), data curation (79%), and post- processing (66%). The \u201ctypical\u201d lead of a winning team is a computer scientist with a doctoral degree, five years of experience in biomedical image analysis, and four years of experience in deep learning. Two core general development strategies stood out for highly-ranked teams: the reflection of the metrics in the method design and the focus on analyz- ing and handling failure cases. According to the organizers, 43% of the winning algorithms exceeded the state of the art but only 11% completely solved the respective domain prob- lem. The insights of our study could help researchers (1) improve algorithm development strategies when approach- ing new problems, and (2) focus on open research questions revealed by this work.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"50px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-koslDw\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/button {\"id\":\"block_65a8f193fa877\",\"name\":\"acf\/button\",\"data\":{\"title\":\"READ HERE\",\"_title\":\"field_61d40397c2f0a\",\"button_type\":\"link\",\"_button_type\":\"field_63bbde3b8f0d0\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/openaccess.thecvf.com\/content\/CVPR2023\/papers\/Eisenmann_Why_Is_the_Winner_the_Best_CVPR_2023_paper.pdf\",\"_url\":\"field_61d4039bc2f0b\",\"button_style\":\"primary\",\"_button_style\":\"field_63872d045d0f0\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"_target\":\"field_63872c705d0ef\",\"button_extra_classes\":\"\",\"_button_extra_classes\":\"field_642beab6a97de\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->","post_title":"Why is the winner the best?","post_excerpt":"In: 2023.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"why-is-the-winner-the-best","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-18 10:38:44","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-18 09:38:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/sano.science\/?post_type=research&#038;p=15049","menu_order":31,"post_type":"research","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":15083,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2024-01-18 20:49:59","post_date_gmt":"2024-01-18 19:49:59","post_content":"<!-- wp:heading {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-gt9bVE\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Ahmed Abdeen Hamed, Malgorzata Zachara-Szymanska, Xindong Wu<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"50px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-ISauic\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-LHiJju\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">As the influence of Transformer-based approaches in general and generative AI in particular continues to expand across various domains, concerns regarding authenticity and explainability are on the rise. Here, we share our perspective on the necessity of implementing effective detection, verification, and explainability mechanisms to counteract the potential harms arising from the proliferation of AI-generated inauthentic content and science. We recognize the transformative potential of generative AI, exemplified by ChatGPT, in the scientific landscape. However, we also emphasize the urgency of addressing associated challenges, particularly in light of the risks posed by dis-information, misinformation, and unreproducible science. This perspective serves as a response to the call for concerted efforts to safeguard the authen-ticity of information in the age of AI. By prioritizing detection, fact- checking, and explainability policies, we aim to foster a climate of trust, uphold ethical standards, and harness the full potential of AI for the betterment of science and society.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"50px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-ISauic\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/button {\"id\":\"block_65a9809b9b16b\",\"name\":\"acf\/button\",\"data\":{\"title\":\"READ HERE\",\"_title\":\"field_61d40397c2f0a\",\"button_type\":\"link\",\"_button_type\":\"field_63bbde3b8f0d0\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/iscience\/pdf\/S2589-0042(24)00003-8.pdf?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2589004224000038%3Fshowall%3Dtrue\",\"_url\":\"field_61d4039bc2f0b\",\"button_style\":\"primary\",\"_button_style\":\"field_63872d045d0f0\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"_target\":\"field_63872c705d0ef\",\"button_extra_classes\":\"\",\"_button_extra_classes\":\"field_642beab6a97de\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->","post_title":"Safeguarding Authenticity for Mitigating the Harms of Generative AI: Issues, Research Agenda, and Policies for Detection, Fact-Checking, and Ethical AI","post_excerpt":"In: Cell Press iScience, 2024.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"safeguarding-authenticity-for-mitigating-the-harms-of-generative-ai-issues-research-agenda-and-policies-for-detection-fact-checking-and-ethical-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-18 20:49:59","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-18 19:49:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/sano.science\/?post_type=research&#038;p=15083","menu_order":1,"post_type":"research","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12697,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2023-07-13 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-13 11:51:07","post_content":"<!-- wp:heading {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-t8PrKt\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Hamed, Ahmed Abdeen; Fandy, Tamer E.; Tkaczuk, Karolina L.; Lee, Byung Suk<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"50px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-QsVBmI\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-bvpyWp\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Background: With the Coronavirus becoming a new reality of our world, global efforts continue to seek answers to many questions regarding the spread, variants, vaccinations, and medications. Particularly, with the emergence of several strains (e.g., Delta, Omicron), vaccines will need further development to offer complete protection against the new variants. It is critical to identify antiviral treatments while the development of vaccines continues. In this regard, the repurposing of already FDA-approved drugs remains a major effort. In this paper, we investigate the hypothesis that a combination of FDA-approved drugs may be considered as a candidate for COVID-19 treatment if (1) there exists an evidence in the COVID-19 biomedical literature that suggests such a combination, and (2) there is match in the clinical trials space that validates this drug combination. Methods: We present a computational framework that is designed for detecting drug combinations, using the following components (a) a Text-mining module: to extract drug names from the abstract section of the biomedical publications and the intervention\/treatment sections of clinical trial records. (b) a network model constructed from the drug names and their associations, (c) a clique similarity algorithm to identify candidate drug treatments. Result and Conclusions: Our framework has identified treatments in the form of two, three, or four drug combinations (e.g., hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline, and azithromycin). The identifications of the various treatment candidates provided sufficient evidence that supports the trustworthiness of our hypothesis.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"50px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-3o8Ev6\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/button {\"id\":\"block_64afe50b33d5a\",\"name\":\"acf\/button\",\"data\":{\"title\":\"READ HERE\",\"_title\":\"field_61d40397c2f0a\",\"button_type\":\"link\",\"_button_type\":\"field_63bbde3b8f0d0\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1999-4923\/14\/3\/567\",\"_url\":\"field_61d4039bc2f0b\",\"button_style\":\"primary\",\"_button_style\":\"field_63872d045d0f0\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"_target\":\"field_63872c705d0ef\",\"button_extra_classes\":\"\",\"_button_extra_classes\":\"field_642beab6a97de\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->","post_title":"COVID-19 Drug Repurposing: a Network-based Framework for Exploring BioMedical Literature and Clinical Trials for Possible Treatments\u00a0","post_excerpt":"In: Pharmaceutics, 2022.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"covid-19-drug-repurposing-a-network-based-framework-for-exploring-biomedical-literature-and-clinical-trials-for-possible-treatments","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-05 14:55:40","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-05 13:55:40","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/new.sano.science\/?post_type=research&#038;p=12697","menu_order":72,"post_type":"research","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/people"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17212,"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/542\/revisions\/17212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"people_teams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people_teams?post=542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
