Abstract Introduction The longitudinal trajectories of functional brain dynamics and the impact genetic risk factors in individuals at for Alzheimer's disease are poorly understood. Methods In a large‐scale monocentric cohort 224 amyloid stratified disease, default mode network (DMN) resting state connectivity (FC) was investigated between two serial time points across 2 years. Results Widespread DMN FC changes were shown frontal posterior areas, as well right hippocampus. There no...

The discovery and development of new treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires a profound mechanistic understanding the disease. Here, we propose model-driven approach supporting systematic identification putative mechanisms.We have created model AD corresponding normal physiology neurons using biological expression language to systematically causal correlative relationships between biomolecules, pathways, clinical readouts. Through model-model comparison identify "chains...

With the significant advancement of high-throughput technologies and diagnostic techniques throughout past decades, molecular underpinnings many disorders have been identified. However, translation patient-specific mechanisms into tailored clinical applications remains a challenging task, which requires integration multi-dimensional data patient-centric models. This task becomes even more when dealing with complex diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders. Integrative disease modeling is...

Speculative statements communicating experimental findings are frequently found in scientific articles, and their purpose is to provide an impetus for further investigations into the given topic. Automated recognition of speculative text has gained interest recent years as systematic analysis such could transform thoughts testable hypotheses. We describe here a pattern matching approach detection that uses dictionary patterns classify sentences hypothetical. To demonstrate practical utility...

Abstract Background For selection and evaluation of potential biomarkers, inclusion already published information is utmost importance. In spite significant advancements in text- data-mining techniques, the vast knowledge space biomarkers biomedical text has remained unexplored. Existing named entity recognition approaches are not sufficiently selective for retrieval biomarker from literature. The purpose this study was to identify textual features that enhance effectiveness different...

Despite the unprecedented and increasing amount of data, relatively little progress has been made in molecular characterization mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease. In area research, there is a pressing need to integrate various pieces information into meaningful context presumed disease mechanism(s). Disease ontologies provide novel means for organizing, integrating, standardizing knowledge domains specific compact, formalized computer-readable form serve as reference exchange or...

Abstract Motivation: There have been many successful experimental and bioinformatics efforts to elucidate transcription factor (TF)-target networks in several organisms. For organisms, these annotations are complemented by miRNA-target of good quality. Attempts that use combination with gene expression data draw conclusions on TF or miRNA activity are, however, still relatively sparse. Results: In this study, we propose Bayesian inference regulation transcriptional (BIRTA) as a novel...

Molecular signaling pathways have been long used to demonstrate interactions among upstream causal molecules and downstream biological effects. They show the signal flow between cell compartments, majority of which are represented as cartoons. These often drawn manually by scanning through literature, is time-consuming, static, non-interoperable. Moreover, these devoid context (condition tissue) biased toward certain disease conditions. Mining scientific literature creates new possibilities...
