Integrating machine learning and molecular docking to decipher the molecular network of aflatoxin B1-induced hepatocellular carcinoma

This study demonstrates that AFB1 may promote HCC pathogenesis by targeting specific genes and signaling pathways. Machine learning identified six core regulatory genes, and molecular docking confirmed AFB1's high binding affinity with key targets. These findings provide critical insights for further mechanistic exploration of AFB1-induced hepatocarcinogenesis.
