Introduction Dataset splitting is one topic that doesn’t get enough attention when discussing machine learning (ML) in drug discovery. The data is typically divided into training and test sets when developing and evaluating an ML model. The model is trained on the training set, and its performance is assessed on the test set. If hyperparameter tuning is required, a validation set is also included.
Introduction to Multiclass Text Classification with LLMs Multiclass text classification (MTC) is a natural language processing (NLP) task where text is categorized into multiple predefined categories or classes. Traditional approaches rely on training machine learning models, requiring labeled data and iterative fine-tuning. However, with the advent of large language models (LLMs), this task can now be approached differently.

Imagine upgrading from a bicycle to a spaceship—quantum computers can solve complex problems at extraordinary speeds. However, this leap in computing power poses significant challenges, particularly for cybersecurity, which forms the backbone of data protection in our digital world.
Molecular glues have emerged as an exciting new class of agents in drug discovery, offering a novel mechanism to modulate protein function, both as protein degraders and for other therapeutic targets. Unlike traditional drugs that inhibit or block protein activity, molecular glues enhance or induce new protein-protein interactions (PPIs), allowing them to activate biological pathways rather than suppressing them.

Conghao Gai, Hairong Zeng , Haoming Xu, Xiaoyun Chai, Yan Zou, Chunlin Zhuang, Guangbo Ge, Qingjie Zhao European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2024 [link] Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is an enzyme that catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate, producing α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) relative to the hydroxylation of substrates. However, IDH mutants can further reduce α-KG to 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) which competitively inhibits α-KG dependent enzymes, leading to the downregulation of n
Edaravone significantly lowered glucose, leptin, insulin, apolipoprotein-B, body weight, weight gain, food, and water intake in rats. The intervention significantly reduced heart rate, systolic, diastolic, and mean diastolic blood pressure. The lipid profile, antioxidant levels, inflammatory cytokines, and MMP levels were also affected in atherosclerotic rats.
The concept of a blockbuster drug, defined as a medication generating at least $1 billion in annual sales, has long been a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical industry. However, the question arises whether a drug can achieve blockbuster status without heavily relying on U.S. sales.

By John W.M. Claud & Mark I. Schwartz — Over the past few days, we’ve been blogging about changes that are sure to come to FDA under Trump 2.0. Calls to more generally gut Federal agencies are everywhere, including from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the current nominee to lead the department of Health and Human Services. But shedding regulators in sensitive areas like drug manufacturing—even in the era of influencer-driven medicine—can lead to compromises in safety and efficacy, especially when FD

Scientists discovered a stretch of DNA in both C3 plants, like wheat and soybeans, and C4 plants, like corn and sorghum, that is responsible for optimizing C4 plant photosynthesis and making them better at withstanding heat and drought. The findings are insightful in understanding how some plants evolved to be more efficient, and may now be used as a springboard for turning C4 photosynthesis on in C3 plants -- an important step for creating sustainable crop populations in the face of climate cha
