Transcriptome analysis reveals tumor microenvironment changes in glioblastoma
Hoogstrate et al Cancer Cell , 2023 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccell.2023.02.019 Summary A better understanding of transcriptional evolution of IDH-wild-type glioblastoma may be crucial for treatment optimization. Here, we perform RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) (n = 322 test, n = 245 validation) on paired primary-recurrent glioblastoma resections of patients treated with the current standard of care. Transcriptional subtypes form an interconnected continuum in a two-dimensional spac


ChemBounce: a computational framework for scaffold hopping in drug discovery
Woo Dae Jang, Changdai Gu, Yumi Noh, Kwang-Seok, Jae Yong Ryu https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btaf501 Scaffold hopping is a critical strategy in medicinal chemistry for generating novel and patentable drug candidates. Here, we present ChemBounce, a computational framework designed to facilitate scaffold hopping by generating structurally diverse scaffolds with high synthetic accessibility. Given a user-supplied molecule in SMILES format, ChemBounce identifies the core
