Abstract Motivation Identifying drug–target interactions (DTIs) is a crucial step in drug repurposing and discovery. Accurately identifying DTIs silico can significantly shorten development time reduce costs. Recently, many sequence-based methods are proposed for DTI prediction improve performance by introducing the attention mechanism. However, these only model single non-covalent inter-molecular among drugs proteins ignore complex interaction between atoms amino acids. Results In this...

Abstract Aberrant regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been implicated in the pathogenesis Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but most abnormally expressed miRNAs found AD are not regulated by synaptic activity. Here we report that dysfunction miR-135a-5p/Rock2/Add1 results memory/synaptic disorder a mouse model AD. miR-135a-5p levels significantly reduced excitatory hippocampal neurons mice. This decrease is tau dependent and mediated Foxd3. Inhibition leads to memory impairments. Furthermore,...
