摘要:
Provided are methods of identifying a metabolic target in a cancer stem cell that include using a microarray to identify intracellular signaling networks within a population of cancer stem cells that respond to a growth factor for the stem cell. Also provided are methods of determining a personalized therapeutic regime that include receiving metabolic information relating to a cancer stem cell in a patient, determining the patient's personal criteria relevant to the therapeutic regime, and combining the metabolic and personal criteria. Also provided are a diagnostic test for establishing a personalized therapeutic regime for a colon cancer patient and methods of reducing colon cancer stem cells/treating colon cancer.
摘要:
A system and method for creating at least one new network, comprising: selecting at least one node and at least one set of reactions where reagents in each reaction of the at least one set of reactions are known in at least one reference network; and creating at least one new network by causing the at least one new network to behave in a similar way with respect to the at least one node and the at least one set of reactions as the at least one reference network reacts with the at least one node and the at least one set of reactions.
