Simulations Plus | January 16, 2023
Simulations Plus, Inc. recently announced that its DILIsym Services (DSS) division released DILIsym® version X (DSX) Beta, the latest iteration of its flagship quantitative systems toxicology (QST) software for predicting and investigating drug-induced liver injury (DILI).
DILIsym modeling aids vital drug development decisions by prevising the potential DILI risk of new drug candidates. The modeling also identifies the biochemical events that contribute to DILI caused by a medicine and can thus predict specific subgroups of patients who are more likely to get DILI from that drug.
DILIsym modeling information helps guide go/no-go decisions on big drug development projects, potentially averting the terrible financial impacts of failed clinical trials or better offering reassurance that DILI will not be an insurmountable barrier to FDA approval. Over the past 12 years, the DILIsym Services division has coordinated the DILI-sim Initiative, a public-private partnership that helped guide the development of the DILIsym software package.
Some of the substantial updates for DSX include:
A complete software redesign that includes command line and graphical interface options and server/cloud computing capability (HPGL)
Four new exemplar compounds included with varying clinical presentations:
PF-04895162 (Generaux 2019)
Efavirenz
Anastrozole
Tamoxifen
Two new SimCohorts that include variability in susceptibility to liver injury and biomarker-related parameters (ALT and bilirubin)

Zayo Group | January 17, 2023
Zayo Group Holdings, a global communications infrastructure platform, announced the deployment of a new 400G-enabled route between Paris and Marseille. This new route includes the first-in-market network hardening of this critical route using next-generation fiber technologies. This will make it easier and safer for businesses to move high-bandwidth traffic from these top ten global internet hubs, where traffic is growing quickly.
In the next three years, Marseille is expected to go from being the seventh largest internet hub in the world to the fifth largest. With the completion of six new undersea cables, including key gateways to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, capacity needs in Marseille are expected to quadruple by 2026.
Zayo Group Holdings’ new 400G-enabled route, connecting Paris and Marseille, is designed to help meet this increasing capacity demand and provide more secure ways for enterprises to transport high-bandwidth traffic from these global internet hubs.
The new route is expected to have a total capacity of 24 terabytes per fiber pair and important tri-location options for businesses to make sure they can connect securely and reliably to the rest of Europe and the US. With the new route in place, Zayo Group Holdings will be well-positioned to meet the capacity demands of the increasing high-bandwidth traffic between Paris and Marseille.
