Some remarks on predicting multi-label attributes in molecular biosystems
Many molecular biosystems and biomedical systems belong to the multi-label systems in which each of their constituent molecules possesses one or more than one function or feature, and hence needs one or more than one label to indicate its attribute(s).

Alteration of proteomic profiles in PBMC isolated from patients with Fabry disease: preliminary findings
In Fabry patients, we found, by a proteomic approach, some down-regulated proteins (CALX, Rho GDI2, Rho GDI1, NCC27) and others upregulated (NSE, 1433T, 1433Z, Gal-1). These data could be related to pathophysiological aspects of disease.
