Abstract
Cancer cell line panels have proved useful disease models to, among others, identify genomic markers of drug sensitivity and to develop new anticancer drugs. The increasing availability of in vitro sensitivity and cell line profiling data sets raises the question of whether this information could be used, and to which extent, to predict the activity of drugs in cancer cell lines and, ultimately, in patients tumors. Drug sensitivity prediction embraces those approaches aiming at predicting in vitro drug activity on cancer cell lines by integrating genomic and/or chemical information using machine learning models. In this review, we summarize the cytotoxicity assays generally used to determine in vitro activity on cultured cell lines, and revisit the drug sensitivity prediction studies that have leveraged chemical and cell line profiling data from the NCI60, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) projects. A section outlining current limitations and future perspectives in the field closes the review.

"Tuberculosis Prevention, Diagnosis and Drug Discovery"
The Nobel Prize-winning discoveries of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and streptomycin have enabled an appropriate diagnosis and an effective treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Since then, many newer diagnosis methods and drugs have been saving millions of lives. Despite advances in the past, TB is still a leading cause of infectious disease mortality ...read more
Current Pharmaceutical challenges in the treatment and diagnosis of neurological dysfunctions
Neurological dysfunctions (MND, ALS, MS, PD, AD, HD, ALS, Autism, OCD etc..) present significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment, often necessitating innovative approaches and therapeutic interventions.

Emerging and re-emerging diseases
Faced with a possible endemic situation of COVID-19, the world has experienced two important phenomena, the emergence of new infectious diseases and/or the resurgence of previously eradicated infectious diseases. Furthermore, the geographic distribution of such diseases has also undergone changes. This context, in turn, may have a strong relationship with ...read more
