VNP: Interactive Visual Network Pharmacology of Diseases, Targets, and Drugs
In drug discovery, promiscuous targets, multifactorial diseases, and “dirty” drugs construct complex network relationships. Network pharmacology description and analysis not only give a systems-level understanding of drug action and disease complexity but can also help to improve the efficiency of t...
