POSTER PRESENTATION Fragment-based identification of multi-target ligands by self-organizing map alignment Open Access
, 2011
"... In the recent years the prevalent paradigm in drug discovery of „one drug – one target – one disease“, following the assumption that highly selective ligands would avoid unwandted side effects caused by binding to seconday non-theratpeutic targets, got reconsidered. The results of post-genomic and n ..."

activity on each target as well as an adequate pharmacokinetic profile [5]. Early design strategies tried to link the pharmacophors of known inhibitors, however these methods often lead to high molecular weight and low ligand efficiency. We present a new approach based on self-organizing maps [3,6] (SOM
Glycans in melanoma screening. Part 1. The role of β1,6-branched N-linked oligosaccharides in melanoma melanoma
"... Abstract Melanoma, which is one of the most aggressive human tumours, originates from melanin-producing melanocytes. As no effective systemic therapy exists for advanced-stage melanoma, the best chance of recovery remains surgical removal of thin early-stage melanoma. Aberrant glycosylation is a ha ..."

Melanoma: a challenge for glycomics Melanoma (melanoma malignum) is one of the most aggressive human tumours and originates from melanocytes that are responsible for the production of melanin. As such cells are found
Isogenic pairs of wild type and mutant induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from Rett syndrome patients as in vitro disease model
- PLoS ONE
, 2011
"... Rett syndrome (RTT) is an autism spectrum developmental disorder caused by mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG binding protein 2(MECP2) gene. Excellent RTT mouse models have been created to study the disease mechanisms, leading to many important findings with potential therapeutic implications. The ..."

Ten Years and Counting: Moving Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 Inhibitors to the Clinic
"... A B S T R AC T : The burden that Parkinson's disease (PD) exacts on the population continues to increase year after year. Though refinement of symptomatic treatments continues at a reasonable pace, no accepted therapies are available to slow or prevent disease progression. The leucine-rich rep ..."

, and associated presentation of the inherited disease in carriers is highly variable. The remarkably high frequencies of LRRK2 mutations in late-onset PD have allowed unprecedented insight into LRRK2-linked phenotypes. Two salient features have emerged: First, there are no reliable clinical measures or tests
Genome-wide association analysis identifies 13 new risk loci for schizophrenia.
- Nat. Genet.
, 2013
"... Schizophrenia is an idiopathic mental disorder with a heritable component and a substantial public health impact. We conducted a multi-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) for schizophrenia beginning with a Swedish national sample (5,00 cases and 6,243 controls) followed by meta-analysis with ..."

Distinct Phenotypic Differences Associated with Differential Amplification of Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Genes at 4q12 in Glioblastoma
"... Gene amplification at chromosome 4q12 is a common alteration in human high grade gliomas including glioblastoma, a CNS tumour with consistently poor prognosis. This locus harbours the known oncogenes encoding the receptor tyrosine kinases PDGFRA, KIT, and VEGFR2. These receptors are potential target ..."

Autistic disorder is the most severe end of a group of neurodevelopmental disorders referred to as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), which share the common feature of dysfunctional reciprocal social interaction. A meta-analysis of ASD prevalence rates suggests that approximately 37 in 10,000 indivi ..."

Gene-environment interaction and the genetics of depression
- J Psychiatry Neurosci
, 2004
"... Depression is a group of brain disorders with varied origins, complex genetics and obscure neurobiology. Definitions of clinical phenotypes are not rooted in their neurobiology, and animal models of behavioural despair have considerable limitations. Nevertheless, investigation of subtle alterations ..."
