Autonomous agents in vivo and in silico

چکیده
The concept of agency is important in philosophy, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. Our aim in this paper is to highlight some of the issues that arise when considering the concept of agency across these disciplines. We discuss two different views of agency: agents as actors (the originators of purposeful deliberate action); and agents as intentional systems (systems to which we attribute mental states such as beliefs and desires). We focus in particular on the view of agents as intentional systems, and discuss Baron-Cohen’s model of the human intentional system. We conclude by discussing what these different views tell us with respect to the goal of constructing artificial autonomous agents.

FDA approved drugs repurposing of Toll-like receptor4 (TLR4) candidate for neuropathy
Accumulating evidence indicates that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a critical role in promoting adaptive immune responses and are definitively involved in the expansion and maintenance of the neuropathic pain. However, the application of docking in virtual-screening in silico methods to drug discovery has some challenge but it allows us to make the directed and meaningful design of drugs fo...

متن کاملEffects of Salinispora derived metabolites against multidrug resistance, an in-silico study
Background: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is known to defeat most chemotherapies as one of the main anticancer strategies. The role of overexpression/overactivation of ABC transporters, especially P-glycoprotein (P-gp), in the development of chemotherapy has long been demonstrated. Salinispora is a marine actinomycete genus known for the production of novel bioactive metabolites. Methods: In this...
متن کاملMolecular docking studies on xanthohumol derivatives as novel anticancer agents
A set of Xanthohumol derivatives were selected and molecular docking studies of these compounds on thioredoxin reductase were conducted. Based on new structural patterns using in silico-screening study, new potent lead compounds were designed. The results due to validated docking protocols lead to find that Thr58, Gly57, Gly21, Asp334, Glu163, Ala130, IIe332, Val44 and Gly132 are the main a...
متن کاملCurrent Models for Predicting Drug-induced Cholestasis: The Role of Hepatobiliary Transport System
Drug-induced cholestasis is the main type of liver disorder accompanied by high morbidity and mortality. Evidence for the role of hepatobiliary pumps in the cholestasis patho-mechanism is constantly increasing. Recognition of the interactions of chemical agents with these transporters at the initial phases of drug discovery can help develop new drug candidates with low cholestasis potential. Th...
