An integrative network-based approach for drug target indication expansion.

<h4>Background</h4>The identification of a target-indication pair is regarded as the first step in a traditional drug discovery and development process. Significant investment and attrition occur during discovery and development before a molecule is shown to be safe and efficacious for t...
