Core Tip

Core Tip: In certain areas, it is difficult to perform universal hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccination. We found that several drugs potentially inhibit HAV internal ribosomal entry sites-dependent translation and HAV replication. After the application of machine and deep learning, artificial intelligence identified effective anti-HAV drugs more quickly, using drug repositioning and drug rescue.
