Leveraging neural network models for drug repurposing: a case study on cardiac hypertrophy

Abstract Drug repurposing has emerged as an attractive strategy in contemporary pharmaceutical research, presenting an opportunity to expedite drug discovery, minimize developmental costs, and mitigate risks associated with developing new pharmaceuticals. In this study, we invest...

Hilbert's Basis Theorem for Poisson Ore Extensions

ABSTRACT We prove an analogue of Hilbert's basis theorem for Poisson Ore extensions and Poisson Laurent Ore extensions. We also obtain corresponding results for iterated Poisson Ore extensions and iterated Poisson Laurent Ore extensions associated to commuting Poisson‐pairs. Fina...
