The study showcases superior performance in predicting drug responses at both single-cell and patient levels, demonstrating its generalizability across different datasets and drugs.
The paper introduces scAdaDrug, a novel method that integrates multi-source domain adaptation, adaptive feature weighting, and adversarial learning to predict drug sensitivity at the single-cell level. By leveraging bulk RNA-seq data from cell lines as source domains and scRNA-seq data from single cells as target domains, the model achieves state-of-the-art performance in predicting drug responses. Through extensive experiments on various datasets and drugs, scAdaDrug demonstrates its effectiveness in personalized medicine applications.
