Exploring Personalized Drug Targets and Reverse Effects on Disease Through Network Propagation
This research delves into the identification of personalized drug targets using network propagation methods. The study explores how knocking out good drug targets can reverse disease-related effects, focusing on gene expression signatures, small molecules, genes, and disease connectivity. The approach involves in-silico knockouts in a protein-protein interaction network, analyzing mutations and their impact on disease states. Through simulated healthy states, the study illustrates the potential effects of targeting specific genes for therapeutic interventions.
